Research Focus
Dr. Elizabeth Archie’s lab focuses on understanding how social and environmental stressors throughout life affect health, particularly as we age. By using nonhuman primates, specifically baboons, the lab develops innovative tools to measure stress responses and their impacts on heart health. The findings have implications for better understanding health outcomes related to stress and aging in humans.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
