Research/Academic Interests

Dr. Martin's primary focus is developing, constructing and providing quality molecular tools for investigators in a timely and collaborative manner. Secondarily he has a long-standing interest in molecular chaperones in the cardiac setting, particularly the small heat shock proteins. Additional key interests are myofilament proteins and calcium handling proteins in cardiomyopathy, stroke rehabilitation and gene therapy.
