Biography

Dr. Sell is a board certified pathologist and immunologist. He has been working on the stem cell origin of cancer and cancer stem cells for over 50 years. He has published over 400 papers and 12 books. His paper with Barry Pierce (Lab. Invest. 70:6-21, 1994.) was selected as an AACR scientific landmark. Among his findings are: development of delayed hypersensitivity before antibody formation (T-cell priming, 1959). the role of the thymus in development of immune competence (1964); first identification of immunoglobulin on the surface of B cells (1965; Current contents citation classic, 1984); classification of immunopathological reactions (1971); development of a radioimmunoassay for alphafetoprotein (1972); identification of liver stem cells during chemical hepatocarcinogenesis and in response to injury (1972); role of endocytosis in activation of B cells (1974); recognition that the chancre of syphilis is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction (1979); role of mGSTA3 in detoxification of aflatoxin (2004); characterization of breast cancer stem cells (2012), identification of the immunopathological response to influenza virus infection in mice as a viral exanthema in the lung (2013).

Dr. Sell began research while a medical student at the University of Pittsburgh, in the Department of Pathology, under Frank J. Dixon. After a pathology residency at Massachusetts Hospital, and post doctoral fellowships at NIH and Birmingham England he returned to the University of Pittsburgh for 5 years before moving to the University of California at San Diego. After 12 years at UCSD, Dr. Sell took the position as Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Texas (UT) at Houston before moving to Albany Medical College as Director of the Division of Experimental Pathology. As of February 2003 he has been a senior scientist at Wadsworth Center, a Professor at University at Albany School of Public Health and an Adjunct Professor at Albany College of Pharmacy. Dr. Sell received the Rudolph L. K. Virchow Award of the Italian Medical Magazine LeadershipMedica.com for his concept of cancer stem cells; he was named Legacy Laureate of the University of Pittsburgh for his work on alpha-fetoprotein as a marker for liver cancer; and in 2007 received the Abbott Award of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine for recognizing the role of stem cells in carcinogenesis. He has recently been funded by NIH for 5 years for to study risk factors for human liver cancer in genetically engineered aflatoxin sensitive mouse model developed in his laboratory. In addition recent immunopathologic analysis of lung tissues from mouse models of influenza have shown that there is invasion of the infected bronchial epithelium by cytotoxic T-cells, similar to the skin reactions to smallpox and measles (viral exanthema).
