The BEACH Lab at UNC - Wilmington is led by Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Nora E. Noel.  The laboratory research focus is the examination of alcohol and caffeine use as related to social and cognitive behaviors.  We are also studying health related issues, such as racial disparities in cancer treatment.

Our laboratory is located in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building, on the UNCW Campus.  Research facilities include a technologically equipped experimental room, observation room, and graduate student offices.
