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.

What gives masses to the particles? We believe that it is related to electroweak symmetry breaking which raises the hierarchy problem, the huge gap between the weak and Planck scales. The LHC experiments is addressing some of these questions and at the same time rising new ones. Recent cosmological-observation raised additional puzzles: What is the source of dark matter and energy? We explore experimental and theoretical methods to improve our knowledge regarding these issues. We also propose to use optical atomic clock spectroscopy to Search for Higgs-like mediated interactions in atoms at table top experiments.Phenomenology of relaxion-Higgs mixing By Thomas Flacke, Claudia Frugiuele, Elina Fuchs, Rick S.
