Adam C. Martin is a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, serving as the Salvador E. Luria Professor and Co-Undergraduate Officer in the Department of Biology. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms that underlie tissue form and function. Dr. Martin investigates how cells and tissues change shape during embryonic development, which gives rise to body parts. His work involves visualizing these changes to determine the mechanical forces that drive massive tissue movements, particularly in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. In addition, he studies the regulation of tissue integrity, specifically exploring the processes that regulate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
