Occupation
Biochemist and Crystallographer

Summary

Jennifer Martin is internationally acknowledged for her expertise in protein crystallography. Her research is focussed on understanding the molecular basis of disease and applying this knowledge to early-stage drug discovery. She established the first protein crystallography laboratory in Queensland as Director of the Remote Operation Crystallisation and X-ray Diffraction (UQ ROCX) Facility at the University of Queensland. Martin is a strong advocate for gender equity in the sciences. She was elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2017.
