Plomin
is currently conducting a study (TEDS)
of all twins born in England during the period 1994 to 1996,
focussing on developmental delays in early childhood and their
association with behavioural problems. After receiving his doctorate
in Psychology from the University of Texas, Austin, in 1974,
he worked at the Institute for Behavioural Genetics at the University
of Colorado, Boulder.
From 1986 until 1994 he worked at Pennsylvania State University
studying elderly twins reared apart and twins reared together
to study aging, and developing mouse models to identify genes
in complex behavioural systems. His current interest is in harnessing
the power of molecular genetics to identify genes for psychological
traits. He has been president of the Behavior Genetic Association.
