 Dr. Cohen's work focuses on the roles of stress and social support systems in health
and well-being. He has published pioneering theoretical and empirical work on the
effects of aircraft noise on health and development of school children, and on the
roles of stress and social networks in physical and mental health. During the last
25 years, he has been studying the effects of stress, affect, and social support on
immunity and susceptibility to infectious disease. His experimental laboratory work
focuses on establishing the neuroendocrine (hormonal) pathways that may link
psychological states to alterations in the immune system, while his correlational
work focuses on identifying neuroendocrine, immune, and behavioral pathways that
link stress, personality, and social networks to disease susceptibility. His classic
work on the role of psychosocial factors in susceptibility to the common cold has
been published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
