  • The temporal association of introducing and lifting non-pharmaceutical interventions with the time-varying reproduction number (R) of SARS-CoV-2: a modelling study across 131 countries (2020, The Lancet Infectious Diseases)
  • Global burden of respiratory infections associated with seasonal influenza in children under 5 years in 2018: a systematic review and modelling study (2020, The Lancet Global Health)
  • Global trends in incidence, death, burden and risk factors of early-onset cancer from 1990 to 2019 (2023, BMJ Oncology)
  • Global, regional, and national prevalence of asthma in 2019: a systematic analysis and modelling study (2022, Journal of Global Health)

Frequent collaborators include:

  • Harish Nair
  • Terho Heikkinen
  • Thea Kølsen Fischer
  • Adam Meijer
  • Andrew J. Pollard

Campbell's research encompasses a substantial number of publications, with over 330 works in Medicine overall and more than 120 specifically in Epidemiology. Their research contributions have a focus on global health implications, particularly related to infectious respiratory diseases and pediatric health burdens.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

If you’re considering studying Genetics in the USA, it’s helpful to understand the wider landscape of healthcare and science careers. Many students pursuing genetics may also explore allied health roles, advanced nursing, or support positions. Online learning has opened new opportunities to enter or advance in these fields with greater flexibility.

For nursing professionals, there are rn to bsn programs no clinicals available online, providing options to earn credentials without on-site clinical requirements. Ambitious nurses seeking doctoral degrees can fast-track their studies with the shortest msn to dnp program or look for highly accessible dnp programs online that balance rigor with convenience.

If you are interested in starting your healthcare journey quickly, there are also fast track medical assistant programs that can help you gain entry-level experience in as little as six weeks. These alternative pathways can complement a genetics background and help you build a diverse, rewarding career in science and healthcare.
