Pathology Support Group

Much of the work carried out by DTT is in support of the National Toxicology Program (NTP), an interagency partnership of the Food and Drug Administration, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and NIEHS.

The Necropsy Support Team provides routine and specialized technical necropsy and tissue collection support for NIEHS and Division of Translational Toxicology researchers. Necropsy staff organize and perform all phases of complete and tissue specific necropsies according to standardized protocols or protocols specified by NIEHS researchers.
