Operational Workflow
To ensure efficiency and optimal results, resource members interact closely with investigators. In order to utilize the Shared Resource, users will follow this basic operational workflow:
- An investigator directs an initial inquiry:
- For pathology consultation, please contact Dr. Brent Harris at bth@georgetown.edu
- For general inquiries and histology services, please contact Dr. Anju Duttargi at ad1155@georgetown.edu
- For IHC, multiplex IHC, and imaging services, please contact Dr. Aaron Rozeboom at ar459@georgetown.edu
- For general inquiries and tissue banking, please contact Ms. Krysta Chaldekas at Krysta.Chaldekas@georgetown.edu
- An initial meeting is held during which the feasibility of the project and the overall research plan are discussed. The investigator is also notified of the service charges.
- Once deemed feasible, all pertinent information including laboratory personnel dedicated for the project and grant/funding account will be provided by the user.
- Investigator lab personnel undergo training (as applicable).
