Assoc Prof Lisa Martin - Researcher Profile

Biography

Lisa works in the School of Chemistry at Monash University as an Associate Professor

  Lisa’s research areas of interest are:

The Martin group uses a multi-disciplinary approach to answer research questions ranging from Inorganic Chemistry through to Chemical Biology. Our philosophy is that “biology raises the questions and chemistry provides the solutions”.

Of particular interest is the use of lipid membranes as a biomimetic material to explore activity, structure and function of (i) redox active membrane proteins, including protein assembly in membranes and (ii) peptide-membrane interactions; including anti-microbial peptides (AMP), carrier peptides (eg. Tat), insulin and neurodegenerative peptides that aggregate. We employ a wide range of physicochemical techniques combined with synthetic chemistry, molecular and electronic (redox) considerations in order to target biomedical problems. Thus our research applies novel, innovative and highly cross-disciplinary methodologies to exciting and challenging research problems; strong national and international collaborations are involved. Specific research areas include: 
 

  

1. Proteins and Peptides:

(i) Protein regulation of steroid synthesis by cytochrome P450 enzymes:  Biosynthesis of many steroid hormones by cyt. P450 (CYP) enzymes is essential for the control of salt balance, sugar metabolism and the production of male and female sex hormones in humans. Recent studies using cyt. P450c17 and P450 aromatase enzymes aim to elucidate the biomolecular and electronic basis of their activity. Our objective is the development of new treatments for prostate and breast cancers.
 

(ii) Peptide-membrane activity: The membrane activity of both naturally occurring and synthetic peptides are being explored as alternative therapeutics or bio-nanotechnological tools. Classes of activity include: antimicrobial (AMP), cell-penetrating (eg. Tat) and aggregating peptides (eg. Abeta). Novel biophysical approaches, such as the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) are being used to provide “fingerprints” for these peptides as they bind to a lipid membrane bilayer.
