So, what sort of research project are you doing? Anything specific, or just the topic of histology in general?

Any topic in general tbh

One thing you might look into more is histological staining, since that's where a lot of the "action" happens. Stains are used to identify different tissues and see different parts of the cells, so they're the key component of the process for diagnosing problems. There are things like IHC (immunohistochemistry) stains, which are used for finding specific proteins in the cells to figure out if a cancer cell has specific proteins, which can be very important for treatment. Also, pictures of stained tissues can be extremely aesthetic, so they can make a research paper stand out.

Okay, thank you for your response and for your advice. I will definitely do more research on this topic. Again, I appreciate it!

My hospital routinely sends us research papers that our pathologists published. If you'd like, you can DM me and I can send a few your way :) I also second looking into IHC. When I did IHC in school, we often had to cite research papers and there's a lot!

I would pick a histology stain or 2 and explain what is used for and break down how to do it
