Michael Campbell, Ph.D. received his doctoral degree in Cancer Biology from Stanford University where he remained as a postdoctoral fellow in Oncology. Dr. Campbell was appointed Assistant Professor of Surgery at Stanford University in 1992. He joined the UCSF faculty as Assistant Professor of Surgery in 1997.

Dr. Campbell's areas of interest in research include breast neoplasms, cancer vaccines, immunotherapy, immunologic adjuvants, immunologic and biological factors, gene therapy, immunology, and breast cancer.

Dr. Campbell's research is focused on characterizing the immune landscape within tumors and its relationship to indolent or idle breast cancer (and DCIS), as well as investigating changes in immune infiltrates in the context of therapy. His lab has developed multiplex immunofluorescence staining panels and multispectral imaging protocols for various immune cell populations. Dr. Campbell has mentored 15 pre-doctoral students and 8 clinical fellows over the past 17 years at UCSF, all of whom have gone on to careers in medicine or science. 

Trainee opportunities in Dr. Campbell's lab include participation in studies characterizing the tumor immune microenvironment in cancer and pre-cancerous lesions and identifying immune-related biomarkers of response to therapy, as well as pre-clinical studies evaluating new immunotherapeutic strategies. He has access to the over 1500 patients with serial samples from the I SPY-2 study, with the opportunity to predict response to novel and immune targeted treatments
