Research Interests
Martin has a long-standing interest in analytical chemistry, cardiovascular pharmacology, drug metabolism, disease mechanisms, and the chemical biology of nitric oxide (NO), and has received numerous awards/honors in recognition of his research achievements in these areas. His more recent interests focus on the physiological significance of nitros(yl)ation reactions and the role of NO storage forms in blood and tissues; biomarkers of cardiovascular disease and adaptation to hypoxia; hypoxic signalling and altitude physiology; regulation of mitochondrial function and redox signalling; and systems-based approaches to assess the role of nitrite, nitrate and other NO-related products in vivo. Work in his laboratory is both hypothesis- and curiosity-driven and includes basic as well as translational research projects in all of the above areas.
