Behavioral Medicine Facilities  

Behavioral Cardiology Research Laboratory
The majority of clinical research in behavioral physiology is conducted in our laboratory, which is located in Duke South Hospital on the fourth floor.  The laboratory consists of two testing labs where the effects of mental stress on human physiology are studied.  In addition to the main laboratory, there is a vascular diagnostic laboratory, an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring facility, and a nueropsychological test laboratory.  This program is currently conducting several research projects.

Center for Living
Situated west of the Duke campus, the Center for Living campus houses the clinic and fitness buildings where exercise testing and training are performed.  The clinic building houses the exercise testing laboratory where stress testing is performed to assess aerobic and cardiovascular status of research participants.

The fitness center houses the exercise facilities where many of our research participants undergo several weeks of aerobic training.  This state-of-the-art exercise facility contains many different pieces of exercise equipment giving our research participants a wide variety of exercise choices.
