Fame Lab

The FAME Lab was founded in 2008 to study the (F)unctional (A)rchitecture of (M)ammals in their (E)nvironment and is part of the University of Thessaly, School of Exercise Science. FAME Lab is the only Environmental Physiology lab in South Europe aiming 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. FAME Lab consists of 15 full-time funded researchers (post-doctoral fellows and doctoral candidates) and >10 graduate students, with research activities covering four main broad areas:

• Environmental Physiology
• Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) Function
• Occupational Heat Stress
• Thermal stress responses in humans.
