She leads an interdisciplinary research team investigating why neurodevelopmental conditions and educational outcomes run in families, bridging genetics, psychology, psychiatry, education, and public health through the Netherlands Twin Register. Her academic background includes: PhD in Child Development and Education from University of Amsterdam (2013) Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Oxford (2012-2015) Bachelor's and Master's in Human Movement Sciences from VU Amsterdam ( cum laude ) Van Bergen's research disentangles genetic and environmental influences on learning differences across language, reading, and mathematics, with focus on dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and autism. Her work examines how these conditions relate to mental health and educational outcomes through twin studies, polygenic scores, and large cohorts like Norway's MoBa study. Her recent publications reveal dominant genetic influences in educational inequality and neurodevelopmental condition comorbidity. Methodologically innovative works leverage polygenic scores to resolve cultural transmission pathways, while meta-analyses quantify parent-offspring resemblance in reading. These studies, published in Nature Human Behaviour and Psychological Science , demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches to gene-environment interplay.
