Centre for Comparative Pathology

Cancer

The Centre for Comparative Pathology provides pathology support to all areas of cancer research across the University.

  • Cancer models in the mouse and zebra fish have been established by the Cancer Research UK Scotland Centre (CRUK SC).
  • One of Europe’s leading veterinary cancer research and treatment facilities is the Riddell-Swan Veterinary Cancer Centre at the University’s Easter Bush campus.

Capitalising on new imaging initiatives (Edinburgh In-Vivo Imaging), Systems Pathology, multi-species integration and ‘omics’ initiatives enables the Centre to support this activity and ensure that maximum information is obtained from all of these models.
