Ralf Kuja-Halkola
About me
I am a researcher and statistician at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (http://ki.se/en/meb) and the Swedish Twin Registry (http://ki.se/en/research/the-swedish-twin-registry-1)
- . I've been working with genetically informative population data since 2009.
Research
Register based research on Borderline Personality Disorder
I am leading an investigation into Borderline Personality Disorder, its causes, comorbidities, consequences, and pharmacological treatments. We use
Swedish population-wide register data to unravel associations and investigate hypothesis in the largest sample ever to be investigated for the disorder.
Psychiatric Epidemiology
I am involved in investigation into e.g. ADHD, autism, and anxiety in the groups of Henrik Larsson (https://ki.se/people/henla) and Paul Lichtenstein (https://ki.se/people/paulic). I am active in the callboration between research groups in psychiatric epidemiology at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics called the PsychEpi group.
Teaching
I am course director for the course "Design and Analysis of Twin- and Family-based studies" given at the Doctoral Programme in Epidemiology.
