About Bruce
Professor Bruce Campbell is a Professor of Neurology in the Department of Medicine, Royal Melbourne Hospital, at the University of Melbourne. He earned his MBBS (Hons) in 2002, BMedSc in 2002, and PhD in 2012 from the University of Melbourne. A Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) and the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences (FAHMS, elected 2019), he currently heads Neurology and Stroke services at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where he also serves as Director of Neurology. Additionally, he holds an honorary professorial fellowship at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. Campbell co-chairs the Australian and New Zealand living stroke guidelines working party, participates in the Victorian stroke telemedicine project, and coordinates the Australian and New Zealand Brainschool education program for neurologists in training.
Campbell's research focuses on advanced brain imaging and reperfusion therapies for acute ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage. As Group Leader of the Stroke Imaging and Treatment research group, he led the EXTEND-IA trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2015, which demonstrated that endovascular thrombectomy, selected using perfusion imaging, more than doubled the chance of good functional recovery in stroke patients compared to medical therapy alone. He also co-led the EXTEND-IA TNK trial (NEJM, 2018), evaluating tenecteplase before thrombectomy. Other notable publications include the HERMES collaboration meta-analysis (Lancet, 2016) and a comprehensive review on ischaemic stroke (Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019). His contributions earned the 2020 University of Melbourne Woodward Medal in Science and Technology for endovascular thrombectomy research, described as a game-changer increasing recovery rates from 40% to 71%, the 2021 Peter Doherty Leading Lights Award from the Australian Society for Medical Research, and recognition as a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher in the Cross-Field category in 2025.
