Research Interest:
Dr. Martin’s laboratory studies functional roles for glycosylation in the mammalian development and in neuromuscular disorders. Current work involves understanding therapeutic roles for glycosyltransferases in skeletal muscle and heart and assessing their impact on neuromuscular disease progression.  Other work relates to the study of genes that stimulate skeletal muscle growth. In addition, the laboratory works on projects involving the development of therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease, the glycobiology of adult neural stem cells, and pediatric cancer.
