    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 and health behaviours
  • Biopsychosocial determinants of risk and outcomes for cardiovascular disease
