We are truly fortunate to have someone like Dr. Campbell, with such national stature and respect, speak for our Society. We urge everyone to bring friends and relatives to hear his important message based on years of research.
Dr. Campbell has been at the forefront of nutrition research for 40 years. His legacy, "The China Study", is the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is the Jacob Gould Shurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University and Project Director of the China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project. The study was the culmination of a 20-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford University and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. Dr. Campbell received his master's degree and Ph.D. from Cornell, and served as a Research Associate at MIT. He spent 10 years on the faculty of Virginia Tech's Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition before returning to the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell in 1975 where he presently holds his Endowed Chair (now Emeritus). His principal scientific interests, which began with his graduate training in the late 1950's, has been on the effects of nutritional status on long term health, particularly on the cause of cancer. He has conducted original research both in laboratory experiments and in large-scale human studies; has received more than 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding, mostly from the National Institute of Health and has served on several grant review panels of multiple funding agencies lectured extensively, and has authored more than 300 research papers. He is the recipient of several awards, both in research and citizenship, and has conducted original research investigation both in experimental animal and human studies, and has actively participated in the development of national and international nutrition policy.
