In the AND Lab, we seek to understand neural and psychological development with the larger aim of improving adolescent well-being. We conduct rigorous science to advance this common goal, while fostering a safe environment of intellectual curiosity, collaboration, equity, and inclusivity.

The AND Lab believes that members perform best in an environment where their contributions are valued, their ideas are heard, and their unique perspectives respected. A culture of empowerment sets the foundation for intellectual and creative pursuits.
