MHTP Histology update - January 2016

Dear Histology users,

Previous communications have detailed plans for a consolidated MHTP Histology Facility operating as a node of the Monash Histology Platform (MHP).
The new model will bring significant advancements for researchers as well as much needed infrastructure and new equipment.

It was anticipated that the new MHP-MHTP node would be operational by the beginning of this year, however, delays have occurred.
The new model will commence as soon as laboratory space is made available and seminars and communications to all Hudson and SCS staff will be undertaken in preparation.

In the interim, we take this opportunity to introduce Angela Vais who will be running the MHP- MHTP Histology node under the leadership of Camilla Cohen (MHP Manager). Angela comes to us from the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, with 12 years’ experience in Histology. She has previously supervised both the Florey Histology Core Facility and Florey Advanced Microscopy and Immunohistochemistry Services.

During this transition period Angela will be co-ordinating any requirements within the current Histology Facility. Please contact her via email (Angela.vais@monash.edu) with any queries or to discuss your research and Histology requirements.

Please do not hesitate to contact Vivien Vasic (Vivien.Vasic@hudson.org.au) should you have any queries.
