Dr. Kieran Campbell

INVESTIGATOR

Dr. Kieran Campbell is an investigator at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute and an assistant professor at the Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto.

His research focusses on Bayesian models and machine learning for high dimensional biomedical data, including single-cell and cancer genomics. Recently, he has led efforts to develop statistical machine learning methodology to integrate single-cell RNA and DNA sequencing data to uncover the effects of tumour clonal identity on gene expression, as well as methods to automatically delineate the tumour microenvironment from single-cell RNA-sequencing data. Such findings can improve our understanding of cancer progression and of why certain tumours are resistant to therapies, leading to relapse.

Dr. Campbell was most recently a Banting postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Statistics, University of British Columbia and Department of Molecular Oncology, BC Cancer Agency. He obtained his D. Phil in computational and statistical genomics at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Christopher Yau.

At a Glance

Investigator at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute

Expertise in statistical and machine learning modelling of high-dimensional biomedical data

Awarded Banting fellowship to understand the origins of cancer resistance using statistical modelling of single-cell data

Postdoctoral fellowships from the UBC Data Science Institute and Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI)

Major Research Activities

Dr. Campbell’s ongoing research interests concern applications of statistical machine learning in biomedical research. In particular, he is focussed on
(i) single-cell and spatial approaches to understanding cancer progression and resistance,
(ii) reconstructing disease progression trajectories from genomic and imaging data,
(iii) machine learning models to automate biomedical data analysis.
