Biography

Martin Stillman is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Western University. His research primarily focuses on the mechanistic and electronic structure studies of bioinorganic systems. Using techniques such as electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and magnetic circular dichroism, he investigates the binding properties of metallothioneins and metal-binding proteins. His work contributes to understanding the role of metals in biological systems, particularly in exploring ways to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. He has published extensively in reputable journals and his research includes innovative techniques for studying metal binding properties through molecular modelling. Stillman’s academic background includes a Ph.D. from the University of East Anglia and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alberta. He is also involved in teaching a range of courses related to inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
