Biography

Dr. Campbell is a Professor in the Department of Nutrition Science and a faculty associate of the Center on Aging and the Life Course, and the Ingestive Behavior Research Center, at Purdue University. Dr. Campbell’s research program is dedicated to evaluating and understanding how nutrition and exercise can be used as effective tools to positively affect the metabolism, health and functional well-being of people as they progress through the life course. His current research focuses on assessing the effects healthy eating patterns and protein-rich foods on nutri-metabolomics, cardiometabolic disease risk factors, indices of well-being. Dr. Campbell, and colleagues also study influences of dietary protein source, quantity, and within-day patterning on body composition (including muscle and bone) responses to anabolic and catabolic stimuli (exercise training and dietary energy restriction, respectively, and dietary protein needs of older adults. Dr. Campbell has served on research advisory panels for NIH, USDA, NASA, USARIEM, and FAA, and was a member of the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and the HHS 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee.
