BioSignia, Inc. was founded by T. Nelson Campbell and
his father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell. Mr. Campbell (currently
serving as Chairman Emeritus) spearheaded the development
of BioSignia. In his prior position as Chairman, Nelson
Campbell worked to build a qualified and competent
core-team to run BioSignia. During Mr. Campbell’s tenure,
the Company completed a successful patent strategy,
scientific validation, product development for its core
services and an early commercialization strategy. Mr.
Campbell now heads WellTech Health Management Co., Ltd., a
health promotion company in China, which uses technology
developed by BioSignia to promote better health through
dietary and other lifestyle change.
Dr. Colin Campbell provided the science rationale for the
Company – using statistical sciences to predict disease,
reshape health care and maximize prevention of disease.
This vision, which has been adopted and improved by the
management and staff of BioSignia, represents the “heart
and soul” of the Company.
Prior to co-founding BioSignia with his son, Dr. Campbell
(Endowed Chair Professor of Nutritional Science at
Cornell, Emeritus) directed one of medical science’s
largest epidemiological studies. Clinical and other data
were collected from individuals in 170 villages across the
Peoples Republic of China and Taiwan. These data were
correlated to disease patterns in order to discern the
relationship between dietary and lifestyle factors and the
incidence of chronic disease. Findings from the study (the
China, Oxford, Cornell Study), suggested that chronic
disease is enormously complex and that lifestyle factors,
especially nutrition, are powerful factors in the
causation of chronic disease. The New York Times referred
to the China Project as the “Grand Prix” of studies, and
“the most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the
relationship between diet and the risk of developing
disease.” For the Campbells, these findings offered a
tantalizing glimpse of a pathway that could encourage the
health care system to focus on prevention of disease.
