Rebecca Campbell, PhD is a Professor and Principal Investigator in the Centre for Neuroendocrinology (CNE) and Department of Physiology at the University of Otago in New Zealand. She is also serves as the Deputy Head of Department of Physiology and Deputy Director of the CNE. She received her PhD from Oregon Health & Science University in 2002, joined the Centre for Neuroendocrinology as a Postdoctoral Fellow and then established her independent research group in 2009. Her research focuses on defining and understanding the neuronal network regulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, the final output neurons controlling fertility. She is particularly interested in understanding how this neuronal network is involved in the common female infertility disorder, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The majority of her work uses mouse models of PCOS and a wide range of transgenic anatomical and functional neuroscience tools to better understand how androgen excess impacts the female brain. Rebecca is a Board member of the Androgen Excess-PCOS Society, an Editorial Board member for Endocrinology, co-Series Editor for the Master Class in Neuroendocrinology book series and the recently elected Program Organizing Chair for the 2026 International Congress of Neuroendocrinology.
