About

Professor Christoph Ballestrem is a faculty member at The University of Manchester in the UK. His research focuses on cell adhesion, mechanical properties of cells, and cell differentiation, with recent publications exploring topics such as osteogenic differentiation, focal adhesion dynamics, and the intricacies of desmosome interactions. Through his studies, he investigates the structural basis of protein interactions that coordinate the cytoskeleton at focal adhesions and the role of mechanosensing in neuronal cells.
