Our Focus
The Morein Lab aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding of mental health difficulties relating to compulsivity and impulsivity. Our research integrates experimental psychology, psychiatry and cognitive neuroscience . To date, our research has focused in particular on Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and increasingly Hoarding Disorder (HD). The lab is led by Professor Sharon Morein (aka Morein-Zamir) and is based at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK.
