The IGMM’s histology facility forms part of the Montpellier Experimental Histology Network (RHEM), a multi-site platform that also brings together the IRCM and the IGF, within the BioCampus Montpellier ecosystem.
Our mission
We are dedicated to the histological phenotyping of preclinical models of human diseases. We provide technical and scientific support to academic research teams and private companies in the morphological characterisation of their tissues and biological models.
Our areas of expertise
We process a wide range of biological material: Our expertise focuses on cryotomy and the preparation of high-quality histological sections.
- Tissues and organs from mammals and rodents
- Tissues from alternative models (fish, molluscs)
- Organoids and spheroids
Services and facilitiesAccess to equipment and training
- Rapid freezing and tissue preparation
- Cryotomy and sectioning of histological sections
- General histological staining
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF)
We offer access to specialised equipment (microtomes, cryostat, flash-freezer, etc.) following completion of a compulsory specific training course.
Training courses available: Check our booking calendar for availability.
- Tailor-made technical workshops
- Training courses on necropsy and dissection
- Introduction to immunohistology techniques
