Immunohistochemistry
Immunohistochemistry is a powerful tool enabling scientists and clinicians to visualise specific proteins within cells and tissues, providing valuable information for disease diagnosis, research, and treatment planning.

Research Pathology
Conway Fellow, (opens in a new window)Prof. Aurelie Fabre is a Consultant Histopathologist at (opens in a new window)St Vincent’s University Hospital, and Full Clinical Professor in UCD School of Medicine. Prof. Fabre directs the UCD Conway Research Pathology Core Laboratory, which is run by Janet McCormack, Senior Technical Officer with the assistance of Chris Evans, Technical Officer.
The facility provides automated immunohistochemistry with digital pathology services on frozen and formalin fixed paraffin–embedded human and animal tissue. We provide expert support for your tissue research—from antibody selection and multiplex staining to slide scanning and image analysis for biomarker insights.
Digital Pathology
Digital pathology involves creating digital images of tissue samples, traditionally viewed under a microscope, for management, analysis and interpretation.
Quantitative Image Analysis
'A picture paints a thousand words'. A number of software options for image analysis are available that can quantify and statistically analyse expression patterns of cells in regions of interest within tissue.
Delivering high-quality, clinically informed tissue analysis -powered by expert insight and precision techniques in histopathology.
We can advise and help on all aspects of your research project:
- Research project and experimental design
- Antibody selection and optimisation
- Provision of appropriate tissue controls
- Training and technical support on all equipment
- Immunohistochemistry tissue staining and slide scanning service
- Assessment of staining results
- Generation of detailed analyses of antigen expression
- Expertise in several types of image analysis and image analysis platforms
- Specialised knowledge in the generation of 6 antibody multiplex panels and staining a variety of tissue types, both human and animal.
Core technology bookings are made using an online portal, (opens in a new window)Calira (previously called Clustermarket)
