Within WPI’s Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center, the Histology Core provides the infrastructure, guidance, and training to fix, process, cut, and stain tissue samples. We educate students on histology processes, techniques, and instrumentation.  We enable life science research projects for external companies and WPI investigators.
