Main research topics
Janneke Balk is interested in furthering the understanding of iron-sulphur proteins and how they are produced by plants. Iron-sulphur protein assembly occur in mitochondria and plastids, both of which have evolutionary and biochemically independent assembly machinery. Janneke is particularly interested in the communication between the two protein assembly mechanisms and other parts of the cell. By using mutant analysis, microarrays and pulse labelling Janneke is investigating how the different mechanisms are controlled during plant develoment.
