I am a behavioral geneticist with
two primary areas of research focus. The first concerns
the development of substance use disorders from adolescence
to adulthood. The second concerns genetic contributions
to normative aging processes and mortality. My research
on substance use disorders is based primarily on two ongoing
studies I co-direct at the University of Minnesota (MTFS
& SIBS). My research
on aging is primarily based in Denmark. The links below
provide brief descriptions of these projects.
