Rani S. Sellers, D.V.M., Ph.D.

Rani Sellers is the Scientific Director of the The Histology and Comparative Pathology Facility of the Albert Einstein Cancer Center. This core facility provides comprehensive, expert, and cost-effective necropsy, histology and histopathology support to AECC investigators as well as to the Institute for Animal Studies Shared Facility. The facility, housed in the Michael F. Price Center, provides a full range of histological services, performed by experienced histotechnicians, including tissue preparation and processing, paraffin and frozen embedding and sectioning, standard and specialized histochemical stains, enzyme histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry-immunofluorescence to meet the requests of AECC investigators.  The facility routinely trains users to perform various histology techniques such as paraffin and cryo-sectioning of tissues, immunohistochemistry, and laser capture microdissection

Complete gross and histological evaluation of tissues and animal models or genetically engineered mice is performed by Dr. Rani Sellers, DVM, PhD, DACVP. Dr. Sellers customarily trains investigators in tissue identification grossly and histologically. In addition to routine diagnostics, Dr. Sellers evaluates and troubleshoots histochemical and immunohistochemical stains, regularly writes reports, study methods, and results for manuscripts and grants, performs gross and histological photography for manuscripts, grants and presentations and helps develop and evaluate experimental protocols for animal studies.
