Webinar Presented by Professor Dieter Wolke
Dieter Wolke's research is interdisciplinary, longitudinal and in the field of Developmental Psychopathology. He investigates how early influences in life such as being born before term (i.e. preterm) or having early regulatory problems (crying, sleeping and feeding) affect brain and psychological development. How are developmental trajectories altered by parents, peers or siblings?
He is or was involved in a range of longitudinal studies such as the Bavarian Longitudinal Study, the EPICure study, the ALSPAC cohort or the UK Household Longitudinal Study (Understanding Society). He is joint manager of the Horizon 2020 RECAP-preterm project involving 12 countries investigating the lives of preterm children and adults. He coordinated the Follow-up Care committee that developed European Standards of Care for Newborn Health (EFCNI newborn-health-standards project) and is member of the Steering committee of Glance – Global Alliance for newborn care.
Wolke is the author of more than 400 peer reviewed articles and a highly cited researcher. He received an honorary doctorate in Science from the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, in 2014 for his contribution to Psychological Science. He has been awarded the Distinguished Contribution to Developmental Psychology by the British Psychological Society in 2020.
