Gene Environment Interplay
Across the Lifespan

Welcome To The Gene Environment Interplay Lab!

The Gene Environment Interplay Across the Lifespan lab, under the direction of Dr. Jenae Neiderhiser, focuses on understanding how genes and environment interact throughout the lifespan. Major areas of study include interpersonal relationships; parent-child, spouse, sibling, and peer relationships. Our research is focused on studying how individuals influence their environments with genetically-influenced characteristics (genotype-environment correlation and gene by environment interaction).
