| Paul Martin received his BSc
in Biological Sciences from the University of Sussex in
1982, and his PhD from Kings College, University of London
in 1988. He spent several years in Oxford as a post-doc
at the ICRF and as a Junior Lecturer in the Department
of Human and then in 1992 moved to University College
London, where until recently he was Professor of Tissue
Repair. In September 2003, he moved to University of Bristol
to take up a new Chair in Cell Biology. His lab analyses
the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie tissue
repair and how these relate to the morphogenetic tissue
movements that shape embryos during development, using
models as diverse as Drosophila and mouse to dissect
the genetics of these processes. Recent findings have
included the observation of close parallels between wound
closure and dorsal closure in flies, and studies of scar-free
healing in the "macrophageless" PU.1 KO mouse. |
