Her research is focussed on understanding the molecular basis of disease and applying this knowledge to early-stage drug discovery. She established the first protein crystallography laboratory in Queensland as Director of the Remote Operation Crystallisation and X-ray Diffraction (UQ ROCX) Facility at the University of Queensland. Martin is a strong advocate for gender equity in the sciences.
