Dr. Campbell received his PhD at the University of Kent, UK (1994), and subsequently undertook post-doctoral studies at Cedars Sinai Medical Center/UCLA in Los Angeles, CA (1997) followed by further post-doctoral training at the University of Birmingham, UK, before transitioning to a faculty position at the same institution (1999). In 2007 he relocated to the US, to join Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY, and subsequently to the Ohio State University (OSU) in 2016. Dr. Campbell is a Professor in the College of Pharmacy at OSU, and a Member of the James Comprehensive Cancer Center. He serves on the Editorial Board of several journals including Endocrine-Related Cancer.
His research is centered on the roles of nuclear receptors in cancer biology, and specifically investigating how these actions are disrupted by genomic and epigenomic mechanisms. To date, he has published approximately 150 papers, reviews and book chapters. In 2010, he was co-editor on the Springer book Nuclear Receptors: Current Concepts and Future Challenges
Prof. Bevan gained her PhD (1996), at the University of Cambridge, UK studying androgen receptor function in Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. She undertook postdoctoral research at the then ICRF Lincoln’s Inn Fields laboratories, London (now the Francis Crick Institute) before joining Imperial College London in 1999. There, she is Professor of Cancer Biology, leading the Prostate Cancer research programme in the Department of Surgery & Cancer. In addition to, and enhancing, her research a major aspect of her role is the training and mentoring of young scientists at every level, and she has lead roles in PhD training, undergraduate bioscience teaching and equal opportunities.
The research focus of her team is to improve therapy prospects for men with advanced prostate cancer, often taking a convergent science approach. Specific interests include mechanisms of androgen signalling;roles of nuclear receptors and their cofactors in prostate cancer progression and therapy resistance; crosstalk between non-coding RNA and androgen receptor signalling; new therapeutic approaches for resistant disease. To date she has organised 3 international Nuclear Receptor meetings and published over 100 papers, reviews and book chapters.
