Centers, Institutes & Labs

The Behavior and Addictions Research Lab conducts clinical research to enhance our understanding of how and why people change their health behaviors. The lab's research focuses primarily on addictive behaviors (e.g., alcohol and other drug use) but also targets other health behaviors, such as sleep and nutrition. Our goal is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of prevention and treatment among high-risk populations (e.g., young adults, Veterans).

The mission of the Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMI) is to connect University of Missouri health care professionals and basic scientists who have a problem to solve with quantitative experts across campus in fields such as computer science, math, statistics and engineering.
