Dr Sally Martin

Lecturer

School of Biomedicine

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

Dr Martin is currently a post-doctoral researcher in the Myeloma Research Laboratory, School of Medical Sciences, University of Adelaide, based at the SAHMRI, Cancer Theme.

Dr Martin's PhD research, completed in 2009, centred on bone marrow angiogenesis and osteolytic bone disease in the haematological malignancy, multiple myeloma. Since completing her PhD studies, Dr Martin has been examining the role of the PI3K and mTOR signalling pathways in bone development, looking at ways to exploit these pathways to stimulate bone formation in disease settings such as osteoporosis and tumour-associated bone loss.

Dr Martin is an affiliate lecturer in the School of Medical Sciences and the School of Medicine, University of Adelaide.

Dr Martin's current research projects are focussed on (1) the role of the mTOR signalling pathways in mesenchymal stem cell biology, (2) the role of the mTOR signalling pathways in regulating skeletal biology and bone remodelling, and (3) the role of skeletal mTORC1 signalling in B-cell development and glucose homeostasis.
