Well-Being Laboratory

I run a well-being laboratory in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Manchester, aimed at furthering the understanding and fostering of well-being from an interdisciplinary perspective. The lab comprises my post-docs and doctoral students (below) as well as collaborators (right). The members below have come from a diverse range of backgrounds including psychology, economics, and health sciences, bringing together a wide range of competencies and experiences. We've got funding from the university, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Medical Research Council, and the British Academy. We always welcome new collaboration; please feel free to get in touch with myself (alex.wood@manchester.ac.uk) or the members below.
