1. Resource Description

   "The Pathology Services Unit (PSU) provides clinical and anatomic pathology support for disease diagnosis and surveillance for ONPRC’s animal resources. It facilitates the research mission through provision of pathology support for investigators, and identification and characterization of unforeseen consequences of experimental protocols and participation in multidisciplinary research programs with clinicopathologic objectives. The Unit provides animal prosection, tissue collection and preparation services for ONPRC and collaborative investigators, and administers a nonhuman primate (NHP) Tissue Distribution Program (TDP) to maximize the availability and use of these tissues and minimize the number of NHPs required for research. Databases for normal body and organ weights are maintained to advance research with NHPs, and pathology databases relative to spontaneous diseases are maintained to facilitate identification and characterization of spontaneous NHP diseases potentially useful as animal models for biomedical research. Specialized training in NHP anatomic pathology is provided to students, fellows and visiting scientists."
