Sheilagh Martin

Sheilagh Martin is a Professor Emerita in the Department of Biology at Mount Saint Vincent University (MSVU). Her academic qualifications include a BA from MSVU, MSc from the University of Alberta, and PhD from the University of Calgary. Her research focuses on immunological pathways governing fever generation and immune responses in neonates and adults, with emphasis on gestational and developmental influences. Key contributions include studies on febrile response suppression during late gestation and long-term impacts of early immune challenges.

• Research Interests: Fever regulation mechanisms, neonatal/adult immune responses, neuroendocrine-immune interactions
• Education: BA (MSVU), MSc (U Alberta), PhD (Calgary)

Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining neuroendocrinology and immunology. Her work explores translational implications for maternal-fetal health and lifelong immune system programming.
