International Centre for Research in Human Development
The Centre conducts interdisciplinary research of the nature and mechanisms of cognitive processes as a resource for innovative development.
Areas of Research
- Genetically informative studies of child development;
- Genetic and environmental factors in human development;
- Child development and personalized approaches to learning.
The Centre uses methods of various sciences: experimental and cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, genetically informative studies (twin method and other family studies, molecular genetics, bioinformatics).
The International Centre for Research in Human Development is a member of the International Network for Research in Child Health and Development (INRiCHD).
Institute of Law and Ethics (ILE) brings together Lawyers, Scientists and Policymakers to work on legal and ethical implications of genomics, including updating laws to protect individuals and ensure fair use of genetic findings.
ILE also provides professional training, consultation, reports and expert opinions in matters related to legal and ethical implications of genetics.
The Institute collaborates with international partners, including in the UK, USA, China and Canada.
Научный коллектив выражает благодарность Российскому научному фонду, при финансовой поддержке которого написана и издана книга "Геномика поведения: детское развитие и образование".

Mission of the Centre
The mission of the Centre is to generate and implement new knowledge about human development that will lead to improvement in quality of life and well-being of people at all stages of their life. Our aims are to generate new fundamental knowledge through interdisciplinary research and to implement this knowledge in such areas of human life as education, health, career and professional activity, including in extreme circumstances.
We use an interdisciplinary approach, utilising methods of psychology, education, linguistics, genetics, bioinformatics, neuroscience, medicine and ethics – to improve our ability to support positive development in different contexts and throughout the life course.
Objectives
- to generate knowledge needed for improvement in peoples’ quality of life and well-being;
- to provide insight into processes of human development from childhood to adulthood;
- to provide insight into aetiology of cognitive, motivational, emotional and physical aspects of human development;
- to study cognitive processes that underlie human intellectual functioning in the modern technologically oriented society;
- to study mutual influences of cognitive and linguistic mechanisms in the process of human development affected by various social factors;
- to pursue knowledge that has direct relevance for policies, programs and practices of child education as well as continuous education;
- to contribute to advancing knowledge about the earliest stages of child development;
- to work on applying this knowledge to shaping policies and interventions that ensure a strong start in life for all children;
- to promote knowledge dissemination on human development;
- to consolidate the scientific community working in this very important field.
