About the EAT Lab 

The EAT Lab & Clinic is dedicated to research on and treatment for eating disorders and anxiety

Our research has several aims: 

Eating Disorder & Anxiety Disorder Comorbidity

More than 70% of individuals with eating disorders also meet criteria for an anxiety disorder. Our lab studies why these two types of disorders co-occur so frequently. Our ultimate goal is to develop treatments and preventative interventions that address both disorders concurrently.  

 Novel Treatment Development for the Eating Disorders​

Exposure therapy is the treatment of choice for anxiety disorders. At the EAT Lab we are working on ways to adapt exposure therapy for the treatment of eating disorders. We are also interested in adapting other empirically-based treatments for the anxiety disorders and extending them to the eating disorders. 

Technology & Culture
​

We are interested in developing novel interventions integrated with the usage of technology.

​Our lab is involved in several projects exploring cultural and ethnic differences in eating disorders.
