Faculty Lead: Cindy Tsotsoros
The healing lab houses graduate and undergraduate students who are working on research projects throughout the lifespan. Students are working on different projects looking at different cohorts of individuals. We have students in the lab working on group projects as well as their own such as, masters thesis, senior thesis, internship, and college awards. Students are encouraged to showcase their work through manuscripts and poster presentations.
