Dr. LaVoy studies the impact of physical and psychological stressors on immune health, with a focus on neuroendocrine-immune interactions. Ongoing projects include investigating whether improving fitness can improve viral control, identifying processes underlying exercise-induced improvements in immune function, and exploring the connection between neural pathways and immunity following exercise. By furthering our understanding of the immune system, this research will improve the quality of life of patients suffering from cancer and inflammation-related diseases.
