Welcome!
We are a research group at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics at the University of Colorado Boulder. Our research includes
- Genome-wide association studies using microarrays and whole genome sequencing.
- Twin studies
- Adoption studies
- Development of new assessments using wireless sensors such as those in your smartphone.
How to Edit
If you'd like to contribute just log in using your University of Colorado gmail email address (identikey@colorado.edu) and identikey password. Then notify Scott that you'd like editing privileges. The more people contributing to the wiki the more useful it'll be.
We're Hiring Postdocs and Taking Grad Students!
We're currently accepting applications for postdoctoral fellows. Please contact Scott or Matt if you're interested.
Interested graduate students please apply through both the Behavioral Genetics and Clinical Psychology programs in the Psychology & Neuroscience Department.
Classes
Vrieze
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 and structured interviews like the SCID5.
PSYC 3112: Behavioral Genetics II. This course covers many concepts in behavioral genetics using an example-drive approach. 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. It's an exciting time to be a behavioral geneticist!
Research projects

Odds and Ends
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.colorado.edu/docuwiki IBG also has a wiki] for other other projects.
