Responsibilities
Alexandra Havdahl is Centre Director of the PsychGen Center for Genetic Epidemiology and Mental Health at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Since 2007, she has worked with data collection and research on autism, neurodevelopment and mental health in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa), a general population pregnancy cohort run by the NIPH. Havdahl participates in several international projects, including as coordinator of the MoBa contribution to several Psychiatric Genomics Consortium working groups, and as member of the Lancet Commission on the Future of Care and Clinical Research in Autism.
