Laboratory Research
Our lab's research themes revolvearound the environment, diseases, and health communication, covering both high-and low-income countries.
We aim to efficiently disseminate the findings of environmental and disease research to communities. Additionally, we are concerned with stress and learning behaviors in different cultural environments.
Our lab welcomes individuals from various backgrounds and countries.
