There are strong differences between individuals with regards to their cognitive abilities, development, brain functioning, behaviour, and vulnerability to psychopathology, etc. We also know that there are important differences between populations, such as risk for certain physical and mental health problems.

Our research is aimed at understanding individual differences within and between populations by integrating scientific insights from various disciplines. We examine genetic vulnerability and environmental risk factors (and their interaction), as well as differences in cognitive abilities and psychological characteristics. Moreover, we focus on how these factors change during the life span.
