Lisa Martin

Lisa Martin is an Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry at Monash University, where she leads a multidisciplinary research group focused on chemical biology and inorganic chemistry. Her work bridges fundamental chemical principles with biomedical applications, particularly in membrane biochemistry and peptide interactions.

Her research interests include:

• Use of lipid membranes as biomimetic systems
• Redox-active membrane proteins and their assembly
• Peptide-membrane interactions involving antimicrobial, carrier, and neurodegenerative peptides
• Application of physicochemical and synthetic techniques to biomedical problems
• Development of novel methodologies for challenging research questions

Recent publications highlight her group's work in neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, redox catalysis, nanomaterial-based therapeutics, and peptide behavior in biological contexts. Her research spans chemistry, materials science, and biomedical applications, with strong national and international collaborations. She is actively involved in multiple funded research projects, including those supported by NHMRC and ARC. Her scientific contributions align with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being. Lisa Martin mentors researchers and collaborates extensively, though specific student names are not listed. She has secured significant research grants, including those for equipment and prostate cancer research, and leads innovative projects in molecular and nanoscale materials.
