ALT Our interdisciplinary lab group is working to better understand the energy transformation and information that underlines physiological complexity. This project's goal is to understand the bioenergetics of mouse sperm cells and their relationship to motility patterns. Depending on the initial conditions and substrates present they can directly affect the functions of these sperm cells. This image depicts motile mouse sperm with a temporal color code under phase contrast microscopy. These types of images then allow us to parameterize our agent-based model to enhance our understanding of sperm competence in the terms of bioenergetics.​
