Dr. Catherine E. Mosher's lab focuses on improving the lives of advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients and their caregivers through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Her research specifically addresses the issues of fatigue and caregiver burden, aiming to help both patients and caregivers find more balance and engagement in their daily lives. By testing a telephone-based intervention, the lab seeks to demonstrate how psychological flexibility can enhance quality of life for those affected by cancer.

Dr. Jesse C. Stewart's lab focuses on understanding the relationship between sleep disturbances, particularly insomnia, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Their research seeks to determine how improving sleep can reduce risks associated with CVD through the SHADES intervention, which uses cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). By exploring biological mechanisms underpinning the link between sleep and heart health, the lab aims to contribute to effective prevention strategies for CVD in high-risk populations.
