The team consists of teachers and associates of the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy and Faculty of Medicine i.e. doctors of psychology and doctors of medicine with many years of work experience and experience in scientific research. In addition, students of different levels of study are also a part of the team, which gives them an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and skills through volunteer work in the Center and working with more experienced colleagues.
The aim of the CBG is conducting a twin study, i.e. research with twin pairs (monozygotic and dizygotic), so as to come to know the effects of environmental (family, lifestyle, nutrition, etc.) and genetic factors (DNA), as well as their interactions, on the development and formation of personality traits, intelligence and other psychological and physiological characteristics.
