The Histological, Cytological and Digitalization Studies Unit is a platform that supports research through histological and cytological studies of biological samples for researchers both internal and external to the IISPV. The platform has adequate facilities to carry out immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization and molecular studies techniques. It also offers the possibility of digitizing digital microscopic images and image analysis studies.

The unit is made up of technical and research staff from the Oncological Pathology and Bioinformatics Research Group recognized by the Generalitat de Catalunya (SGR 428).
