To assist us in reporting to the NCI and to ensure our continued existence, we ask that you acknowledge the valuable services provided by Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center Core Facilities in your research papers and publications: [e.g. "This research was supported by the (insert Core name) Core Facility of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (P30 CA06516)."]

All services are provided as a fee for service function to recover expenses for services rendered. In the event that results are not what you anticipated, we must still recoup our expenses and payment is required.

The Pathology Cores are committed to provide high quality services and diligent care of materials and specimens. However, we will not be responsible for unsuccessful projects stemming from inadvertent specimen damage or loss, improper tissue handling or fixation, or reagent/equipment failure.
