The SGDP Centre's focus is on common psychiatric disorders that emerge in childhood such as mood disorders (such as anxiety and depression), ‘externalising’ disorders (such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and addictions), and cognitive disorders (such as learning disabilities and the autistic spectrum).
Scientists at the SGDP lead some of the UK’s foremost longitudinal cohort and twin studies including TEDS, eRISK, Dunedin, IMAGEN and GLAD. Collaborative interdisciplinary research and training are the hallmarks of the SGDP, with research encompassing behavioural genetics, molecular genetics, experimental psychology and psychiatry, and neuroimaging.
