R. Scott Martin is a Professor of Chemistry at Saint Louis University’s School of Science and Engineering. He holds a secondary appointment in the Department of Pharmacological & Physiological Science. His academic roles include former Department Chair (2015–2021) and Graduate Program Director (2011–2015). Martin earned his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Missouri-Columbia (1999) and completed a NIH postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Kansas.
His research focuses on microchip-based technologies for studying cellular systems, particularly neurotransmitter release and cell-to-cell interactions. Key innovations include 3D-printed microfluidic devices for cell culture and analysis, integration of electrochemical detection, and methods for studying nitric oxide (NO) in disease processes. His group’s work has led to over 67 publications at Saint Louis University, emphasizing advancements in microchip valving, cell immobilization, and biomedical applications.
Notable awards include the AES Mid-Career Award (2017), Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2014–present), and College of Arts and Sciences Endowed Professorship (2011–2015). He serves as Editor-in-Chief of Analytical Methods and has organized major conferences like the Midwestern Universities Analytical Chemistry Conference (MUACC). His lab emphasizes interdisciplinary training in analytical chemistry, biology, and engineering, with ongoing projects in blood-brain barrier modeling and Parkinson’s disease research.
Current lab members include graduate students focusing on 3D printing, electrospinning, and cell culture integration. The Martin Research Group is located in Monsanto Hall, with a strong emphasis on mentoring and collaborative innovation.
