Welcome to the website for BioPop: Integrative Biopsychosocial Research in Population Health. We are working group of faculty, academic staff, and students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison interested in studying health from a multidisciplinary and integrative perspective. We draw upon theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches from biomedical, life, and social sciences to better understand determinants of health and health disparities and to illuminate promising opportunities for improving population health.

The mission of BioPop: Integrative Biopsychosocial Research in Population Health is threefold:

To conduct innovative, interdisciplinary, and multi-method life-course research on: 1) social and familial relationships and health; 2) stress, resilience, and health; 3) mental health and healthcare; and 4) the biological pathways that mediate these relationships;

To provide training, mentorship, and education to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty on key methodological and substantive priority areas in population health; and

To collaborate with local and global community members and health organizations to devise practical solutions in improving and sustaining population health.

We strive to conduct all of the above activities in collaboration and consultation with Schools and Departments across the UW–Madison and other academic institutions around the state, nation and world; governmental and non-governmental research entities; and local, state, national and international public health organizations.
