Francisco Martinez-Balbas

Francisco Martinez-Balbas is a scientist who studies how cells control which genes are active, influencing how cells grow, develop, and respond to their environment. His research often focuses on understanding the roles of specific proteins that modify DNA and its associated structures, affecting gene expression. This work helps to reveal the underlying mechanisms of cell function and can contribute to insights into diseases like cancer, where normal gene regulation is disrupted. Overall, his contributions advance our understanding of cellular processes and potential targets for medical treatment.
