Research

The field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is broadly interested in understanding how  psychological factors impact our health and disease vulnerability as well as how our health impacts how we feel, think, and behave.

The Baylor PNI Lab Group is specifically interested in exploring the mechanisms underlying the development and maintenance of fatigue, depression, and motivational deficits in the context of cancer and diabetes with a particular interest in inflammatory and metabolic mechanisms.
