FAME Lab

At FAME lab we imagine a world in which the vast majority of people understand how the environment impacts their life and plan their goals and activities in harmonious accordance with the long term well-being of humanity. Our goal is to get closer to that, to stand as a beacon that points towards that, and to offer the tools we can and inspire others to help us build tools to get to that world. We strive to help society understand and adapt to the impacts of environmental factors on human beings. Understanding and addressing the drivers of poor outcomes in health, productivity, and performance will, undoubtedly, accelerate improvements in quality of life for all people – sustainably and justly. The FAME lab was founded in 2008 to study the (F)unctional (A)rchitecture of (M)ammals in their (E)nvironment. Our group is part of the University of Thessaly School of Exercise Science and it currently consists of 15 researchers employed full-time as well as >10 graduate students.
