Mission

Research in the Human Nature Lab lies at the intersection of the natural, social, and computational sciences. Led by Dr. Nicholas A. Christakis, the lab explores basic and applied research, in a wide range of settings — from online experiments to public health field trials in the developing world. HNL methodology ranges from complex statistical analyses to the introduction of artificial intelligence agents into social systems to the development of novel software tools and the work explores the biology, genetics, and evolutionary origins of human social interactions.
