Histopathology
Histology plays a crucial role in understanding the structure and function of tissues at a microscopic level, essential for fields such as pathology, oncology, and developmental biology. This training will delve into key histological techniques starting from tissue fixation, which preserves biological samples, ensuring that cellular structures remain intact for analysis. Participants will explore various embedding methods, such as paraffin and cryo-embedding, which facilitate the cutting of thin sections for microscopy. Staining techniques are paramount in highlighting different cellular components; thus, the training will cover common stains like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), as well as specialized stains for identifying specific tissue types or pathological changes. Further, participants will learn about immunohistochemistry, a technique that utilizes antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissues, enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Understanding microscopic anatomy requires robust laboratory practices, so this training will address essential laboratory protocols, including quality control procedures, safety standards, and proper documentation practices in histology labs. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises and case studies that reinforce theoretical knowledge with practical skills, simulating real-life scenarios in histological analysis and diagnosis. The training aims to enhance the confidence and capabilities of each participant, making them proficient in interpreting histological data and applying their knowledge in both research and clinical settings.
