Dr. Ann Dvorak will have ultimate responsibility for administering the core but she will be assisted in this by Lawrence F. Brown, M.D. and Eliza Vasile, Ph.D. Dr. A. Dvorak has considerable expertise in light and electron microscopy and in electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. Dr. Brown has expertise in in situ hybridization and Dr. Vasile in confocal laser scanning microscopy.
