Since 1992, he has been an adjunct Professor in the Departments of Pathology (1993), Zoology (1996), and Psychology (2003) at the University of Queensland, and Senior Principal Research Fellow at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute. [citation needed] Together with J.D. Mathews, he established in 1978 the Australian Twin Registry.
Twin Research and Human Genetics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published bimonthly by the Cambridge University Press. It is the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies (ISTS) and the Human Genetics Society of Australasia .
The power of twin designs arises from the fact that twins may be either identical (monozygotic (MZ), i.e. developing from a single fertilized egg and therefore sharing all of their polymorphic alleles) or fraternal (dizygotic (DZ), i.e. developing from two fertilized eggs and therefore sharing on average 50% of their alleles, the same level of genetic similarity found in non-twin siblings).
In 1990, he became the director of Twins Research Australia (formerly the Australian Twin Registry) and head of the breast cancer unit in the Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health. [3] [4] Hopper died on 28 October 2024, at the age of 74. [5]
Some twin registries seek to cover all twins in an entire country, [1] including Sweden, [2] Denmark, [3] Norway, [4] Finland, Australia, [5] Sri Lanka [6] and the United Kingdom. [7] The Swedish Twin Registry is the largest twin database in the world, with approximately 85,000 twin pairs.

Thomas J. Bouchard Jr. (born October 3, 1937) is an American psychologist known for his behavioral genetics studies of twins raised apart. He is professor emeritus of psychology and director of the Minnesota Center for Twin and Adoption Research at the University of Minnesota.
Discoveries in her laboratory have been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, with over 190 publications cited ~9250 times. [3] Driven by patient care as an interventional cardiologist, Figtree's research reflects bench-to-bedside knowledge translation of molecular discoveries to the clinic, and her work with health digital twin technology [4] contributes to advances in precision medicine.
