Marcus Munafò (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/expsych/people/marcus-r-munafo/) is Professor of Biological Psychology in the School of Experimental Psychology at the University of Bristol, Director of the Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/expsych/research/brain/targ/), and an affiliate member of the Meta-Research Innovation Center (METRICS; http://metrics.stanford.edu/) at Stanford University. His group is part of the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies, and the Medical Research Council Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on understanding pathways into, and the consequences of, health behaviors and mental health, with a particular focus on tobacco and alcohol use. This work includes: 1) observational and genetic epidemiology; 2) the laboratory study of cognitive and neurobiological mechanistic pathways; and 3) the development of novel individual- and population-level interventions that target these mechanisms. He has received a number of awards, including the British Psychological Society Health Psychology Early Career Award, the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco Young Investigator Award, an American Cancer Society Union Internationale Contre Cancer Fellowship, the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Fellowship Award, the British Association of Psychopharmacology Award, and the British Association of Psychopharmacology Cambridge Cognition Award. He has a long-standing interest in factors influencing the robustness of scientific findings, with a particular focus on the impact of low statistical power, and the incentive structures that shape the behavior of scientists.
