    Our research is focused on understanding psychosocial well-being and biobehavioural mechanisms underlying healthy aging.

  • Daily positive events promote health

    Our work demonstrates that daily positive experiences are associated with lower inflammation, adaptive cortisol profiles, and better health behaviours.

  • Positive experiences and stress processes

    We have found that maintaining positive emotions in the face of stress is important for health.


Welcome to the UPLIFT Health Lab website!

We are interested in Understanding Pathways Linking Inter- and Intraindividual Factors To Health.

Our areas of interest include:

  • Biological and behavioural mechanisms linking daily experiences to long-term health and aging
  • The roles of positive experiences in stress and coping processes
  • Day-to-day dynamics of psychosocial well-being, sleep, and health behaviours
  • Biopsychosocial determinants of risk and outcomes for cardiovascular disease

 

We acknowledge that our learning takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam). We make this acknowledgement with the recognition that our relationships to land and place, the lifelong development of identity, and our understanding of our place in the world are essential to the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
