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. For more information on Dr. Campbell
