Marcus Munafò is Professor of Biological Psychology at the University of Bristol, and Programme Lead within the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit. His primary research focuses on identifying causal pathways between health behaviours, and physical and mental health outcomes, using a range of epidemiological and laboratory methods. He also has a long-standing interest in how current incentive structures within science shape the behaviour of scientists, and have an impact on the quality of published work. Together with colleagues from Cardiff, Oxford, Imperial College and Edinburgh, he established the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN; ukrn.org) in 2019, and now chairs the UKRN Steering Group.
