Prof. Michael Eisenbach | פרופ' מיכאל אייזנבך Department of Biomolecular Sciences Weizmann Institute of Science 76100 Rehovot, Israel Tel: +972-8-934-3923 Fax: +972-8-947-2722 Email: m.eisenbach@weizmann.ac.il orcid.org/0000-0001-9048-4720

The interest of Eisenbach’s lab is in navigation mechanisms of cells, focusing on those of bacterial and sperm cells. The topics studied are:

1. Molecular mechanisms of signal transduction in bacterial chemotaxis, using Escherichia coli as a model system.
2. Mechanism of function of the “gearbox” of the bacterial flagellar motor.
3. Physiological and molecular mechanisms of mammalian sperm chemotaxis and thermotaxis.
