Tobacco Regulatory, Experimental & Clinical Science Lab

​Our lab conducts clinical and clinical laboratory-based research spanning tobacco regulatory science, tobacco harm reduction, and public health. We follow a team-science model with collaborators in the fields of psychology, epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health communications, chemistry, biochemistry, and cancer biology. Recent NIH-funded research has focused on electronic cigarettes, dissolvable tobacco, and waterpipe smoking.

​Our lab is also dedicated to training the next generation of tobacco researchers. Over the last 5 years, TRECS alumni have gone on to prestigious graduate programs, clinical psychology internships/residencies, and post-doctoral fellowships. TRECS trainees and staff frequently give oral and poster presentations at regional, national, and international conferences.

​With our research and training, we hope to contribute knowledge urgently needed by the scientific community, public health officials, and regulatory authorities to effectively regulate tobacco products in a way that best serves individual and public health.
