After completing his degree in bacteriology and genetics, Martin worked as a Biomedical Scientist in clinical microbiology at Leicester Royal Infirmary. During this time, he gained state-registration with the Health and Clinical Professions Council (HCPC) and became a Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences. He then worked in the Department of Genetics at Leicester University where he studied for a PhD in Bacterial Molecular Genetics. He used his molecular biology skills to study the regulation of virulence gene expression in pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli. Martin then moved to the Institute of Food Research (Quadram Institute) in Norwich where he learned to use microarray to undertake large-scale gene expression studies in Salmonella enterica and develop models to explain how some Nucleoid-Associated proteins integrate environmental signals to regulate virulence gene expression.
These skills were applied when Martin moved to the University of Birmingham (UoB) and used microarray to study differences in stress responses between lab strains of harmless E. coli and deadly enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). He found that EHEC is more sensitive to oxidative stress than non-pathogenic lab strains and using the microarray data, developed a model to explain how differences in iron acquisition and storage could explain the findings and might be exploited for selectively eliminating pathogenic bacteria while leaving non-pathogenic commensal strains intact. Martin then started lecturing on the MSc course in Food Safety, Hygiene & Management at UoB where he used his knowledge to improve the microbiology provision on the course. He then worked at Nottingham Trent University as a lecturer in microbiology, developing new content for their degree courses before finally moving to Birmingham City University. Martin arrived at BCU as the Biomedical Science degree was starting and developed all the microbiology & Research Methods teaching on the course. He continues to enthuse students in the field of microbiology, drug discovery and the search for new antibiotics.
