Digital and Computational Pathology Laboratory/DCPL (Pathology and Cell Biology)

Overview of Services

Established in 2018 through a partnership with New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the Department of Pathology & Cell Biology Digital and Computational Pathology Laboratory (DCPL) is located at PH1582. With a mission to facilitate the basic, translational and clinical research in pathology, the DCPL specializes in slide digital image acquisition, web-based image management, and quantitative image analysis. The DCPL is equipped with two cutting-edge Aperio whole slide scanners:  Aperio AT2 scanner for high-throughput and high resolution (40X) bright-field imaging, and Aperio Versa 8 fluorescence scanner for multiplex applications ranging from UV to near Infrared.  The DCPL uses Aperio eSM for data management & remote sharing. For advanced quantitative image analysis, the DCPL provides stations for consultation and training using: Aperio Imagescope, HALO (including HALO AI), Visiopharm and Qupath.
