The Host Response Core (HRC) is located within the Histology and Imaging Core<\/a> (HIC) at the South Lake Union (SLU) campus of the University of Washington School of Medicine. The HRC provides access to state-of-the-art imaging facilities and technical assistance for histopathology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), imaging and quantitative morphological analysis to support cystic fibrosis (CF) related research. In addition, the HRC provides training in comparative pathology, immunohistochemistry, imaging and image analysis through seminars and hands on workshops and courses.\u00a0 The HRC will also assist users with gaining access to The Cell Analysis Facility<\/a> in the Department of Immunology at UW-SLU for research requiring flow cytometry.\u00a0 For CFTRC investigators who are submitting a project to the HRC for the first time, please contact the Core Director, Dr. Charles Frevert<\/a>, to discuss your research goals and requirements. If you have any questions regarding procedures for submission of your sample or the services provided, please contact Brian Johnson<\/a>, Manager of the Histology and Imaging Core.<\/p>\n The scientific focus of the HRC is to obtain information on relevant parameters of the host response that is unique to CF using a variety of in vivo and in vitro imaging, analytical and functional endpoints.\u00a0 Among the endpoints and tools the Core\u2019s services will allow include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
