Bio
The Balbach lab is aiming to understand how cells adapt their metabolism to new energy requirements. Although adjusting to new metabolic conditions is a general task many cell types have to master, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. The current focus lies on the male gamete, the sperm cell. # Education * Ph.D. 2017, University of Bonn * M.Sc. 2012, University of Bonn * B.Sc. 2010, University of Bayreuth # Previous Appointments * Postdoctoral Fellow 2017-2023, Weill Cornell Medicine (New York City, NY)
