EPFL Latsis Symposium 2009: Understanding Violence 12 Jozsef Haller February 11-13 2009 Professor, Head of the Behavioural Neurobiology Department Institute of Experimental Medicine Budapest, Hungary http://www.koki.hu Jozsef Haller’s research interests focus on the understanding of brain mechanisms involved in violent forms of aggression. By comparing the brain mechanisms of violent aggression induced by different means (e.g. genetic selection, social deprivation, glucocorticoid deficiency), he has made major contributions to the field. Working in rodents, he has identified main components of the brain circuitry underlying violent forms of aggression.

Working in the field for 30 years, Richard has played a formative role in research and public awareness of health inequalities and the social determinants of health. Since persuading the UK Secretary of State to set up the working party which in 1980 produced the Black Report on Health Inequalities, he has worked particularly on the health and social effects of income inequality.

EPFL Latsis Symposium 2009: Understanding Violence Speakers, Discussants and Round Table Panelists Mark Broom Professor, Head Department of Mathematics University of Sussex, UK http://www.sussex.ac.uk/maths/profile27849.html Mark Broom’s research focuses on the application of game theory to the mathematical modelling of biology, especially using the concept of the Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS). He works in modelling a number of biological phenomena, most notably including the areas of dominance hierarchies and of food-stealing. Recent work involves the modelling of simple evolution processes and more complex games on structured populations, especially graphs. Abstract Title: ba l a n c i n g r i s k s a n D r e w a r D s: t h e l o g i c o f v i o l e n c e John Archer Professor, Director of Research The Aggression Research Group University of Central Lancashire, UK http://www.uclan.ac.uk/facs/science/psychol/research/people/Archer.htm Prof. Archer’s research interests are the study of human aggression, and bereavement and loss. He is the former President of the International Society for Research on Aggression (ISRA), and is on the editorial board of the journal Aggressive Behavior. He is the author of several books and has published over 100 articles, with a total citation count of over 3,500. John Archer studies topics such as young men’s physical aggression from an evolutionary perspective, including cross-national comparisons, partner violence and stalking, bullying and aggression in prisons and other secure institutions, testosterone and aggression, and people’s attributions about their aggression.

His group uses noninvasive techniques for measuring brain function, including event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). He has authored over 70 articles and book chapters and he currently directs four major NIH projects in the areas of adolescent psychopathy, adult psychopathy, substance abuse, and early stage psychosis.
