Education & Training:
University of California, Berkeley, Ph.D. in Biochemistry with Daniel E. Koshland, Jr. Washington University Medical School, postdoctoral fellow in Neurobiology with Joshua Sanes
Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, Assistant and Associate Professor
Center for Gene Therapy, and The Ohio State University Medical School, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and of Physiology and Cell Biology

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.
