Matthew McGue

Matthew McGue is a Professor at the Institute for Health Services Research, affiliated with the University of Minnesota. His work focuses on genetic epidemiology, twin studies, and aging research, with a strong emphasis on the interplay between genetic and environmental factors in alcohol consumption, cognitive function, and longevity.

• Current position: Professor, University of Minnesota
• Department: Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Biodemography (EBB)

Research Interests: McGue’s research spans behavioral genetics, cognitive aging, and genetic determinants of human lifespan. His work often integrates twin registries with genomic data to explore heritability and environmental influences.

Recent Publications highlight collaborations with the IGEMS Consortium and focus on alcohol use in aging populations, genetic contributions to height, and the role of school achievement in intelligence. Keywords from his work include Genetics, Psychology, and Public Health.

Projects involve large-scale twin studies like the Long Life Family Study (LLFS) and IGEMS Consortium, analyzing genetic and environmental factors in healthspan and longevity.
