The Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology is involved and collaborates with a number of centers and institutes at the University of Minnesota.
Biomedical Engineering Institute
The Biomedical Engineering Institute (BMEI) is an interdisciplinary research organization that leverages the collective expertise, imagination, and energy of University of Minnesota faculty from engineering and health sciences and individuals from local industry toward highly collaborative, goal-oriented research to solve problems in health care. The products of this research are new concepts, procedures, devices, and materials that will enhance the University's portfolio in health care delivery and will support Minnesota's health care product industry.
Surgical Pathology Research Laboratory
The Surgical Pathology Research Laboratory in the University of Minnesota Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology advances scientific discovery by providing laboratory services, technical expertise, and scientific consultation to University faculty, staff, residents, students, as well as the external research community.
Under the direction of D. Evin Gulbahce, M.D., the laboratory offers progressive services that include: an Arcturus Pixcell II Laser Capture Microdissection Center, which isolates single cells or clusters of cells to determine different protein/ DNA expression patterns, especially as they relate to grades of dysplasia, differentiation, and malignant potential; and a Digital Imaging Center, which facilitates the application of new digital technology to research. Additional laboratory services consist of routine tissue processing, routine histology, immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridization, histologic interpretation, and other research applications.
