Sally Martin

Dr. Sally Martin is a Lecturer in the School of Biomedicine at the University of Adelaide. She specializes in teaching and currently coordinates courses such as Human Anatomy and Physiology 1A/1B and contributes to Create.Communicate.Connect and Foundations of Medicine. Her academic roles include membership in the Adelaide Education Academy and leadership positions on committees like the BHMS Learning & Teaching Committee and Academic Review Committee.

Dr. Martin holds a PhD from Adelaide (2009) focused on bone marrow angiogenesis in multiple myeloma. Post-doctoral research at institutes like SAHMRI explored mTOR signaling pathways in bone development and tumor-associated bone loss. Her research interests include mesenchymal stem cell biology, skeletal mTORC1 signaling, and glucose homeostasis regulation.

Her recent work spans topics like mTORC1’s role in energy metabolism, B-cell development, and osteoporosis treatments. Though no explicit awards are listed, her extensive committee involvement highlights academic leadership. Teaching and research activities reflect a balance of education innovation and biomedical discovery.

Dr. Martin’s lab focuses on translational research bridging bone biology and metabolic pathways, with ongoing projects on skeletal signaling in disease contexts. Collaboration networks include SA Pathology and IMVS, emphasizing clinical and basic science integration.
