The I-HOPE lab offers 泡芙视频apps the opportunity to engage in critically important research which seeks to promote resilience and overall good health among the pediatric as well as adolescent and young adult populations. We run a bilingual lab, as much of our work entails providing interventions in both English and in Spanish.

The lab is made up of undergraduates, masters鈥� and doctoral 泡芙视频apps, post-Docs, and Moffitt Cancer Center T-32 and USF postdoctoral fellows. We also partner with other USF faculty members.
