Mindfulness, Stress & Health Lab
Welcome to the Mindfulness, Stress & Health Lab
Investigating the outcomes and mechanisms of mindfulness
The Mindfulness, Stress & Health (MSH) Lab conducts interdisciplinary research that brings together psychology, medicine, biology, and neuroscience to study the physical and mental health benefits of mindfulness. There are many core qualities of mindfulness, including attention, awareness, acceptance, and the ability to respond versus react to stress. Our lab aims to better understand the relationship between being mindful & being healthy. To do that, we use different types of studies, including: survey questionnaires; lab experiments to measure stress responses, meditation, and relaxation; clinical trials to test the effectiveness of mindfulness training; and correlational studies to look for links between mindfulness and various measures of stress, health, and psychological well-being.

Our lab is ideal for students who want to gain research experience before applying to Ph.D. programs or medical school. Get to know our current students and Mindfulness Lab alumni here.
