Professor dr. Nathaniel Martin is Chair of Biological Chemistry at Leiden University where his research group works on developing new molecular strategies to address antibiotic resistance (www.martinlab.nl). With a firm foundation in bioorganic chemistry, the approaches used by the Martin lab include the design and synthesis of new antibiotics as well as developing small molecule inhibitors of different resistance mechanisms. Prof. Martin has received a number of personal grants and awards in support of his research including the NWO VENI and VIDI grants as well as the ERC consolidator grant. To date, Prof. Martin has published more than 100 research papers and is named inventor on 8 patents. Prof. Martin also sits on the executive board of the Netherlands Centre for One Health (www.ncoh.nl) and is head of the research division “Bioactive Molecules” within the Institute of Biology Leiden.
