Supervision Overview

Currently primary supervisor of three PhD students based at UQ

Background

Bio

Prof Jennifer Martin is an internationally renowned protein crystallographer and structural biologist. She has made seminal discoveries in bacterial redox biochemistry, including revealing how the DsbA enzyme assembles bacterial ‘weapons’, and has validated DsbA as a target for novel antibacterials that are now being developed. Through her role as a founding member of the Science and Gender Equity (SAGE) Steering Committee, Prof Martin helped implement the Athena SWAN pilot to address gender equity in science. Prof Martin is a strong public advocate for science with an inspirational and highly effective science communication record.
