Since 1994, he has been a Research Professor at the Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre (SGDP), a department in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London. Plomin is widely recognized as an influential figure in behavioral science, particularly for his leadership in the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS) and for advancing the use of molecular genetics in psychology. A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked Plomin as the 71st most cited psychologist of the 20th century. He is the author of several books on genetics and psychology."
