About Me

Michael Campbell: I have received a doctorate in pharmacy (Pharm.D.) from Touro University CA, and a B.S. In Genetics from UC Davis. I am currently completing prerequisites to apply to a Ph.D. program geared towards neuroscience, with a focus in cognitive science and artificial intelligence. I'm primarily interested in longevity and have decided that the field of neuroscience will provide the most leverage for attacking this issue.

My interest in neuroscience was first aroused in undergrad while studying the processes of epigenetics in my upper division genomics classes. It was here I first cultivated a respect for complex, high-throughput systems. This then led me to pursuing pharmacy where I studied the feedback communication at the heart of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. After accruing sufficient didactic background in the chemistry of learning and memory, I proceeded onto two years of experiential rotations with an emphasis in neuroscience. These rotations ranged from managing drug therapies for patients with diverse mental disorders in a lock-down psychiatric facility, to performing anesthetized rat brain surgeries for implementing catheter delivery of therapeutics to discrete brain loci. I have also lectured on the benefits of nootropics (e.g. the Alzheimer's-fighting drug memantine) as used in cohorts of healthy, non-elderly individuals.

I now work part-time as a pharmacist to bankroll my personal development of the skills necessary to complete a PhD; chiefly: analytic philosophy, reductionist ethics, higher maths, and computer science. In my spare time I contribute articles to the transhumanist "h+ Magazine" publication and serve on the Board of Advisers for the nonprofit Lifeboat Foundation think tank.
