@He developed technologies which paved the way for new cancer drugs to be created. He was one of the first to usw Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technologies for studying the structure of proteins. Through this he discovered much about Fundamental cell processes involved in foetal development. Many of the same processes involved in development are those which go wrong or become 'out of control' in cancer - Campbell's work underpins existing cancer drugs and efforts towards new treatments.'
