Maaike Verhagen is associate professor within the Developmental Psychopathology group of the Behavioural Science Institute. She conducted many molecular genetic studies in relation to various forms of psychopathology and loneliness and is currently interested in social relations, emotional processes, and internalizing problems in adolescents. Within those research projects the unifying theme is micro-social processes in relation social inclusion and various forms of psychopathology among adolescents. Her approach is interdisciplinary, combining developmental processes with genetics and other biomarkers, using a variety of methods (e.g., observational, longitudinal, questionnaires).
