Welcome to the Vrieze Lab Wiki!

Welcome!

This wiki is maintained by Scott Vrieze's group at the University of Minnesota. We are a research group in the Psychology Department at the University of Minnesota. Our research includes

Genome-wide association studies using microarrays and whole genome sequencing.
Twin/Adoption studies
Development of new assessments using wireless sensors such as those in your smartphone.

We're hiring postdocs and taking grad students!

We're currently accepting applications for talented postdoctoral fellows. Please contact Scott if you're interested.

Interested graduate students who would like to pursue a research-intensive PhD in Clinical Psychology can apply to work with Scott through the Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology Research program in the Psychology Department.

Research

GSCAN The GWAS & Sequencing Consortium of Alcohol and Nicotine use is a collaboration between CU, Penn State, UMich, and MIT. External website with analysis plans etc is here.

CoTwins The Colorado Online Twin Study is a longitudinal study of adolescent twins using web-based and mobile tech assessment methods. The external website page is here

Genes for Good. An online genetic study of health and behavior. Join the study, visit our Facebook community page or follow us on Twitter @genesforgood.

DevCon The "Developmental Consortium" is a budding longitudinal genetic association consortium effort.

Classes

Undergrad

PSYC 3102: Behavioral Genetics. This course covers introductory material and concepts in behavioral and psychiatric genetics. We cover the history of BG, Mendelian diseases to illustrate basic gene/environment concepts, twin and adoption studies, and recent molecular approaches including whole genome sequencing and genome wide association analyses.

PSYC 3112: Behavioral Genetics II. This course covers more advanced concepts in behavioral genetics, including recent molecular approaches including whole genome sequencing and genome wide association analyses.

Grad

PSYC 7102: Statistical Genetics

PSYC 7693: Personality Measurement. Core PhD-level clinical psychology course designed to teach basic measurement and decision theory, as well as application of psychological tests like the MMPI-2 and structured interviews like the SCID5.

Other IBG-related wikis

Anything that can be posted publicly from our lab is posted here on this wiki. For internal documents and conversations we have an internal wiki. The rest of IBG also has a wiki for other other projects.
