Martin is the BHF Professor of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Cambridge. A major focus of his research is to understand how we might improve the health of arteries in heart disease by stabilising the cells in the blood vessel wall. This could prevent dangerous narrowing of blood vessels, and consequently, heart attack. His team has identified some important molecules that control the way that cells multiply - proliferation - and how cells die.
