The laboratory is also staffed by highly qualified histology technician, an ASCP certified medical technician, and an experienced research technician.

Mission

The restructured laboratory is designed to provide high quality diagnostic services in an expeditious and timely manner to animal research investigators at the Baylor College of Medicine and allied institutions in the Texas Medical Center . The laboratory is also committed to providing complete diagnostic support to BCM laboratory animal veterinarians, who through their animal colony management and husbandry, animal shipping and receiving services, and animal health surveillance, maintain colonies of healthy high quality animals for animal research investigators at BCM.
