The FCLAP provides expert services in laboratory animal pathology for the research community, including services provided by veterinary pathologists in the form of necropsies and/or the interpretation of tissue samples (including tem), the production and staining of histological tissue samples and microscopic preparations (histochemical and immunohistochemical staining). The FCLAP is led by a specialist veterinary pathologist (Dipl ECVP), who also contributes to statements issued by the centre together with veterinary pathologists in training.
