Research Labs

In keeping with our innovative and interdisciplinary mission in Biobehavioral Health, the research possibilities here are both extensive and diverse.

Our state-of-the-art research laboratories provide support, training, and in some cases, fee-for-service testing for Penn State faculty, their collaborators, and students. We have many research oriented faculty who serve as graduate mentors. Below is a list of the laboratories associated with our department, some of which are not linked to any particular faculty member.
