Professor Paasch completed his studies in medicine in 1995 at the University of Leipzig, Germany. Since 2001, he has been an assistant Professor in Andrology at the Department of Andrology at the University of Leipzig, which became a certified Training Centre of the European Academy of Andrology in 1996. Professor Paasch was among the first to describe annexin binding to human spermatozoa and to develop molecular selection strategies. Recently, he and his team investigated apoptotic signal transduction, lipid changes at the membrane, and related sperm dysfunction.Professor Uwe Paasch
