| Background: | Dr. Allison A. Campbell has been named Director of the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL). The appointment comes after a nationwide search to fill the leadership position of one of the premier Department of Energy scientific user-facilities. Campbell has been serving as Interim EMSL Director for the past eight months. Prior to her assignment as Interim Director, Allison served for four years as EMSL's Deputy Director, and then Associate Director for Scientific Resources. She began her career with PNNL in 1990 as a post-doctoral fellow, when she joined the Materials Synthesis and Modification Technical Group. Campbell has been both a staff scientist and technical group leader, where her biomaterials research has earned her many honors. Just recently, she won the 2005 American Chemical Society's Regional Industrial Innovation Award for her work in bioceramic coatings. Campbell is a member of the Society of Biomaterials, the American Chemical Society, and the Surfaces in Biomaterials Foundation. She is also an affiliate Associate Professor at the University of Washington in the Bioengineering Department. She is nationally recognized for her contributions towards materials development through her research in the field of biomaterials. Campbell is credited with co-inventing a bio-inspired process to "grow" a bioactive calcium phosphate layer, from the molecular level, onto the surfaces of artificial joint implants (total hip and knee) to extend implant life and reduce rejection. She is also recognized for her work in understanding the role of proteins in biomineralization. She has authored numerous peer reviewed technical papers, been an invited speaker at National and International meetings, and has several patents based upon her research. Additionally, Campbell is an avid promoter of science education, sharing her enthusiasm for science with young students through a number of hands-on education programs. Campbell earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Gettysburg College in 1985 and a doctorate in chemistry from the State University at New York (SUNY) at Buffalo in 1990. |
