Formation of the brain structure in human is a complex process. One of the most striking features of the human brain is characteristic convolutions. These convolutions are lacking in a severe human brain malformation known as lissencephaly (smooth brain).Identification of genes that are downstream to Lis1 mutation using microarray technology.Study of LIS1 and DCX functions through characterization of protein interactionsAnalysis of the developmental function of LIS1, DCX and Doublecortin-like-kinase using gene targeting in the mouse.Functional Analysis of Genes Involved in Lissencephaly.
