Short presentation

I lead the Development and Neurodiversity Lab (DiVE) at the Department of Psychology. In our clinical research projects we aim to characterize early development in autism spectrum conditions and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), to improve early diagnosis and individualized support for children and their families. We also conduct twin studies of infants to understand how genetic and environmental factors contribute to individual differences in brain development and behaviour.
