Michael Alan Babyak
Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

I have collaborated as a biostatistician and co-investigator for over 22 years at Duke on numerous observational and experimental studies involving behavior, psychosocial factors, health, and disease. The substantive topics have ranged across questions concerning exercise and depression, hypertension, weight loss, the genetics of stress and heart disease, sickle cell disease, to name a few. I am particularly interested in the issue of reproducibility.
