Research summary

Ralf Kuja-Halkola conducts research at the intersection of psychiatry, genetics, and epidemiology, using large population registers (often Swedish) and twin studies to understand how genes and family environment contribute to psychiatric and physical health conditions. Much of the work examines heritability, familial clustering, and how disorders and risk factors are transmitted across generations. Studies span conditions such as ADHD, autism, eating disorders, type 1 diabetes, and various psychiatric and inflammatory diseases.
