Academic positions:
- Professor in Tissue Engineering at the University of Basel

All industry positions (in last five years):
None declared

Research interests:
Dr Martin's research focuses on the generation of 3D skeletal tissues, to be used as grafts for replacement of damaged organs or as in vitro model systems of tissue development and function. In particular, they are interested in the following interdisciplinary areas:
- Bone, cartilage and osteochondral tissue engineering
- Biology of human mesenchymal progenitor cells and chondrocytes
- Effects of growth factors on cell proliferation, commitment and differentiation
- Effects of physical stimuli
- Design and production of bioreactors
