Background

Jenny Martin trained as a pharmacist at the Victorian College of Pharmacy (VCP), where she was awarded the Gold Medal for top student over the BPharm course. After completing an MPharm in computational chemistry at the College, Jenny moved to Oxford University for a PhD by research in protein crystallography and drug design. Her DPhil was supported by a prestigious 1851 Science Research Scholarship and several other competitive scholarships. Jenny then undertook two years of postdoctoral research at Rockefeller University in New York, before returning to Australia in 1993 to establish the first protein crystallography laboratory in Queensland. Since then, she has held ARC QEII, ARC Professorial and NHMRC Fellowships and is currently an ARC Australian Laureate Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of Queensland. Jenny is the recipient of many honours including the ASBMB Roche Medal, the Queensland Smart Women Smart State Research Scientist award, and the Women in Biotech Outstanding Outstanding Biotechnology Achievement Award.

Research impacts

Prof Martin has contributed to knowledge through more than 110 crystal structures deposited into the protein data bank. She has also contributed to the development of patented antidiabetics, HIV-protease inhibitors, and patents leading to the development of conotoxin drugs that progressed to clinical trials. In addition, through a consultancy with PanBIO (now Inverness Medical Innovations) Prof Martin contributed to a patented diagnostic for herpes simplex virus. She has also held ARC Linkage projects with biotech companies Alchemia, Hexima and Biota leading to fundamental and applied research outcomes. As a leader in her field, Jenny has chaired the National Committee for Crystallography of the Australian Academy of Science, is a past President of the Society for Crystallographers in Australia and New Zealand and former member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Australian Synchrotron.
