About

Professor Robert Plomin is a Research Professor in Behavioural Genetics at King's College London, UK. His research focuses on the interplay between genetics and environmental factors in academic and psychological outcomes, as illustrated in his recent articles on gene-environment correlation and genetic prediction of academic performance. He extensively investigates the implications of behavioral genetics for understanding psychiatric problems and the development of mental health outcomes.
