His main research interest is gene-environment interplay for early life socioeconomic status and mental health development. This includes extended pedigree and molecular genetic studies on genetic transmission; how heritable traits in parents have effect on children, or “genetic nurture”; and how genetic effects varies over schools and neighbourhoods.
