I have published more than 235 peer-reviewed papers, chapters, and books which have been very highly cited, as evidenced by my Google Scholar profile. My research has been published in the leading journals in our field, including first or senior authorships in Molecular Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, World Psychiatry, Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, Clinical Psychological Science, Psychological Bulletin, and Behavior Genetics. I’ve also been a coauthor on publications in Psychological Science, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Archives of General Psychiatry, JAMA Psychiatry, American Journal of Psychiatry, PNAS, Science, Nature Genetics, and Nature Neuroscience.  

I have been a Principal Investigator, Co-Investigator, or Consultant on many NIH grants (as shown on my CV). These have included being PI of an R03 entitled “A behavior genetic study of child externalizing problems” and a K01 entitled “Molecular genetics of childhood disruptive disorders”. I’ve also been the advisor on NIH NRSA Predoctoral Fellowships that have supported 3 of my PhD students’ latter years of graduate training. 

In addition to my publications and grant activity, I have several other noteworthy research accomplishments. First, I have given many invited talks at conferences and departmental colloquia over the years in departments / programs of psychology, psychiatry, genetics, and neuroscience. These have included the university-wide Nietzel Distinguished Visiting Faculty Award at the University of Kentucky, and invited talks at Waseda University in Tokyo and the Japan Neuroscience Society, the Channing Lab at Harvard Medical School, McLean Hospital at Harvard Medical School, the Department of Pediatrics and the Kennedy Krieger Institute at Johns Hopkins University (twice), the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil, the Karolinska Instituet in Stockholm, Sweden, and Grand Rounds in Psychiatry at University of Vermont (twice), Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, and Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. I was also an invited speaker for Conferences on Ethical Issues in Behavior Genetics Research at The Hastings Center, Behavior Genetics and Development at University of Pittsburgh, Personality and Social Psychology: Understanding and Reducing Aggression in Herzliya, Israel, at the Symposium on Psychopathy and the Law, Sponsored by the MacArthur Law & Neuroscience Project in New Orleans, and on Genetics of Criminal and Antisocial Behavior at the Ciba Foundation Symposium #194 in London, UK. 

Second, in addition to my individual research accomplishments, I am an active collaborator and leader in several international consortia, including the ADHD and Cross-Disorder Workgroups of the Psychiatric Genetics Consortium, the Externalizing GWAS Consortium (a founding member), and the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology Consortium, in which I was one of the first members, am on the Executive Committee, and co-lead the Quantitative Methods Workgroup. Other research activities are described on my CV.
