Ellen Verhoef

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Population Genetics of Human Communication research group, where I study the genetic architecture underlying early language development. I am also interested in its links with other early-life traits, as well as later-life cognitive, language and literacy skills, and neurodevelopmental conditions. In my research, I exploit several statistical genetic tools on data from, primarily, population-based cohorts to unravel the genetic architecture of language acquisition.

If you would like to learn more about my research, please check out a podcast in which Dr. Beate St Pourcain and I were interviewed about our recent findings published in JCPP, available open access here.
