MRC Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry (SGDP) Centre
Professor Peter McGuffin
Director of the MRC Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre
The goal of the centre is to bridge the gap between "nature" (genetics) and "nurture" (environment) as they interact in the development of complex behavioural dimensions and disorders.
Because the interaction between nature and nurture spans environmental approaches from epidemiology to family environment, and genetic approaches from twin and adoptee studies to molecular genetics; new collaborative interdisciplinary research is the hallmark of the centre.
