The GCCRI Histology Resource Facility was establishing in May 2008 to provide custom histology and immunohistochemistry services to investigators using transgenic animal models, veterinary animals, or human tissue.  Special attention is given to the orientation of specimens, especially embryos and fetuses. 

 

The Technical Director, Michelle Brady (bradym@uthscsa.edu) has over 23 years professional experience in Histology and Immunohistochemistry.  The scientific director, Charles Keller (kellerc2@uthscsa.edu) is a physician-scientist specializing in genetically engineered mouse models of childhood cancer.  Dr. Keller received his research training in the laboratory of 2007 Nobel laureate, Mario Capecchi.  Dr. Keller is also inventor of microCT-based Virtual Histology , an en bloc quantitative method of examining the anatomical structures of rodent embryos, fetuses, and tissue biopsies.  We work closely in collaboration with veterinary pathologist, Martha Hanes, DVM (hanesm@uthscsa.edu), who can provide interpretation of samples.
