Dr. Kristin Campbell is a physical therapist and research scientist. Dr. Campbell’s research laboratory, the Clinical Exercise Physiology Lab, focused on the role of exercise across the cancer experience, namely in prevention, rehabilitation from cancer treatments and cancer survivorship. She has investigated the role of physical activity in cancer prevention by examining the effect of exercise on proposed biomarkers of breast and colon cancer risk, such as sex hormones, inflammatory markers and tissue protein expression. In terms of rehabilitation from cancer treatment and cancer survivors, her research has focused on examining the benefits of physical activity on physical function, quality of life, fatigue and lymphedema, as well as biomarkers of cancer recurrence and overall health. Dr. Campbell works collaboratively with faculty in Human Kinetics, School of Population and Public Health, Family Practice, Internal Medicine and Surgery.
Dr. Campbell is an investigator in the BC Cancer Agency Cancer Survivorship Research Centre, Interdisciplinary Oncology Program (College of Interdisciplinary Studies at UBC), Providence Health Care and Vancouver Coastal Health. Her areas of methodological expertise include randomized controlled trials, exercise testing, exercise prescription for individuals with cancer and other chronic diseases, and biomarkers.
Current Projects:- Can exercise improve cancer associated cognitive dysfunction (PI: Campbell, funded by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation BC/Yukon)
- Prospective pilot study of cognitive function in individuals treated with adjuvant FOLFOX for colon cancer (PI: Campbell and Lim, funded by BC Cancer Foundation)
- Effects of Early Physiotherapy vs. Education to Prevent Arm Morbidity post-Breast Cancer Surgery: A Pilot Study (PI: Campbell and Singh, funded by Physiotherapy Foundation of Canada).

Training Opportunities:
Dr. Campbell is currently recruiting trainees who are interested in pursuing a MSc, PhD degree through the UBC Rehabilitation Sciences Research Program or those who are interested in Post-doctoral training. Dr. Campbell can also supervise students through the Interdisciplinarily Oncology Program and co-supervise students in the School of Population and Public Health.- The candidate will develop his/her research project in one or more of the following areas: clinical trials, cancer prevention, exercise prescription, cancer rehabilitation, and cancer survivorship, health promotion.
- Funding is available for highly-qualified and suitable trainees who have yet to secure external scholarship funding.
- It is highly recommended that potential trainees apply for all possible external sources of funding (e.g., CIHR) and contact Dr. Campbell well in advance to these funding deadlines.
- Interested candidates should contact Dr. Campbell by email with the following information:
- An updated CV
- Unofficial transcripts
- A one-page letter outlining your research experience and future goals
- Names of two academic referees
- Please note that UBC’s application deadline is February 1st for the fall term admission, and July 1st for the winter term admission. Check the UBC Rehabilitation Sciences Research Program.
