Biobehavioral Health Laboratory
In summer 2012, UCSB's Biobehavior Health Laboratory, opened its doors. Co-directed by the Broom Center's Biodemography Area director Michael Gurven and Research Associate Aaron Blackwell, the lab has the capability to analyze urine, blood and salivary biomarkers of stress, immune function, nutritional status, infection, reproductive hormones, as well as standard anthropometrics used to more roughly gauge growth and nutritional status. The lab will serve UCSB researchers and others who study biological-social interactions.
Work and Family Innovation Lab
The Work and Family Innovation Lab, directed by Sarah Thébaud is an impact-oriented research lab focusing on critical issues related to the workplace and family dynamics. Specifically, the lab brings together scholars and practitioners to collectively conduct research on the mechanisms that facilitate well-being and gender equality at work and in families across the socioeconomic spectrum. We create partnerships with private and public sector leaders to generate, share, and implement novel, evidence-based and actionable solutions for the well-being of workers and families.
