Andrew Campbell, MD, FRCS(C)
Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon
Appointment
Division of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Children’s Hospital of British Columbia
Assistant Professor, University of British Columbia
Bio
Dr. Campbell’s main interests in clinical practice are in the areas of neonatal cardiac surgery and thoracic organ transplantation.
Dr. Campbell trained in pediatric cardiac surgery at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada and at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He was subsequently recruited to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and operated there and at the Children’s Hospital of New Jersey in Newark.
From 1996 to 1999 Dr. Campbell was a research fellow at the Terrence Donneley Vascular Biology Laboratory at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. He developed novel methods of gene transfer in the laboratory and developed the first human Canadian protocol for DNA transfer to the heart.
