Bambach received her bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees from Yale University.[2]
Commenting on the 2017 exhibition of over 130 Michelangelo drawings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Michelangelo: Divine Draftsman and Designer", Bambach, who curated the showing, attributed a black chalk sketch to the artist against the then current consensus among her colleagues.[3]
She published the four-volume Leonardo da Vinci Rediscovered in 2019 to mixed reviews. The same year, she was the first recipient of the Vilcek Prize for Excellence, recognizing work that reflects immigration's impact on American society.[4]
