معرفی
Dr. Martin Petkovich is Professor in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences at Queen's University School of Medicine. His research focuses on nuclear receptor signaling pathways, particularly vitamin A and D metabolism in health and disease contexts including bone development, kidney disorders, and cancer.
Education includes a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto (1986) and BSc from McMaster University. Postdoctoral training was completed at Pierre Chambon's laboratory in Strasbourg.
Key research areas encompass vitamin signaling mechanisms, nuclear receptor function, metabolic regulation in renal pathology, and therapeutic targeting of retinoid pathways. Current investigations examine megalin-mediated vitamin transport and CYP24A1 enzymatic regulation.
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on retinoic acid receptor biology and cytochrome P450 enzymes across developmental, metabolic, and disease contexts. Recent works integrate molecular biology with clinical applications in nephrology and oncology.
Dr. Petkovich co-founded Cytochroma Inc. and serves as scientific advisor. He directs laboratory research at Queen's University with collaborations spanning multiple institutions, though no specific students or awards are detailed in available records.
