Naomi F. Campbell

Naomi F. Campbell serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences at Jackson State University's College of Science, Engineering, and Technology, based in room #504 of the John A. Peoples Science Building.

Her research program focuses on environmental genomics, specifically investigating how low-dose ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and oxidative damage induce trans-generational genomic instability through disruption of DNA methylation machinery. Key mechanisms under study include:

• Alterations in chromatin structure affecting gene accessibility
• Transcriptional dysregulation via 5-methylcytosine interference
• CpG island methylation dynamics in eukaryotic gene expression
• Radiation-induced epigenetic modifications across generations

Dr. Campbell teaches core chemistry courses including General Chemistry I (CHEM 141), Biochemistry I/II (CHEM 431/531 & 432/532), and specialized offerings in Forensic Chemistry (CHEM 371) and Advanced Molecular Biology (CHEM 733), serving both undergraduate and graduate students.
