About Us
Dedication. Passion. Fun.
The driving philosophy of the Clinical Research in Identity and Belief (CRIB) lab is to provide students and professionals an affirming, growth-oriented community to engage in the scientific process of research. In that, we try to “foster an environment of consistent scientific excellence and personal development that supports every lab member in reaching their full potential, and helps us have fun while doing great science.”
