Bio

As a clinical geneticist, Dr. Campbell’s mission is to ensure that every child with a rare genetic disease is diagnosed as quickly and accurately as possible. By harnessing the power of the extensive data contained within the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia electronic health record (EHR), he uses state-of-the art techniques to define and diagnose rare, pediatric-onset genetic diseases. These techniques include statistical models and machine learning.

Dr. Campbell also researches how genomic data can be discretely entered into a patient’s EHR and how this information can be used by clinicians to improve the care of their patients. He helped implement the “Epic Genomics” functionality at CHOP and strives to continuously improve how the hospital uses this genetic information to deliver precision clinical care.

Dr. Campbell is also interested in improving access to genetic care so that it is as equitable as possible, regardless of a patient’s racial or ethnic background, socioeconomic status, or geographic location. To this end, he studies how telemedicine influences the delivery of genetic care.
