Our Mission
The scientific mission of the Psycho-oncology Lab is to develop, evaluate, and disseminate psychosocial interventions that improve quality of life among cancer patients and survivors. We utilize systematic procedures for intervention development that involve patients in the process to ensure that our work is grounded in sound theory, empirical evidence, and patient experiences. Currently, we are particularly interested in developing interventions for underserved cancer patients and survivors, such as adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and individuals living in rural areas.
The educational mission of the Psycho-oncology Lab is to serve as a research training lab for graduate and undergraduate students. By participating in the lab, students will strengthen their research and professional skills while also making meaningful contributions to psycho-oncology research.

The vision of the Psycho-Oncology lab is to be a thriving and collaborative research team that makes meaningful contributions to the academic literature and improvements to the care of cancer patients and survivors.
