Lab Coordinator

Projects in the PPG lab

The PPG lab examines the development and outcomes of problems in self‑regulation, including dis inhibitory disorders, suicide and self‑harm, and related mental‑health conditions. Current research projects center on associations of self‑regulation difficulties with later‑life physical health and processes of aging. The lab’s projects involve data from population‑based administrative registers, longitudinal studies, and genetically‑informative samples (e.g., studies of twins). The lab collaborates with researchers in New Zealand, Denmark, Norway, and elsewhere.
