Phil Campbell

Phil Campbell, Ph.D. is a Research Professor in the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems within CMU’s Carnegie Institute of Technology with joint appointments in Biomedical Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, the Molecular Biosensor and Imaging Center, and the Biological Sciences Departments. Dr. Campbell’s specialty is endocrinology with his primary focus area in understanding hormone pericellular bioavailability as a basis for developing more effective hormone delivery therapies. He is considered a pioneer in identifying pericellular protolytic mechanisms regulating growth factor bioavailability. His current research areas include applying these concepts to biological patterning using bio-printing techniques to better understand the underlying biological concepts of adult stem cell fate (cell migration, proliferation, differentiation, and cell lineage). Dr. Campbell is also developing various in vitro and in vivo imaging strategies based on fluorescence to non-invasively follow cell fate, tissue engineered scaffold degradation and tissue in-growth. He is also involved in developing new native based bio-polymers for tissue engineering applications. He has extensive experience in cell culture and in various animal models for musculoskeletal repair.
