Dr. Scott Martin, Saint Louis University School of Science and Engineering, will be presenting a seminar on "Adventures in Microfluidics with Integrated Cell Culture and Analysis" at the Simons Biosciences Research Laboratories Auditorium on Monday, April 22 at 3:30pm.

Dr. Scott Martin is a Professor of Chemistry at SLU.  He also currently serves as Associate Dean of Strategic Initiatives in the School of Science and Engineering.  He received his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from The University of Missouri-Columbia (with Stanley Manahan) in 1999.  He then received a NIH Post-doctoral Fellowship under the direction of Sue Lunte in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Kansas.  He started at Saint Louis University in 2003 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2008 and Full Professor in 2012.  In 2011, he was named the College of Arts and Sciences Endowed Chair, a position he held until 2015 when he was named Department Chair.  Dr. Martin was named recipient of the Mid-Career Award from American Electrophoresis Society (2017) and the Graduate Mentor Award from the Saint Louis University Graduate Student Association (2011 and 2022). He has been actively involved with the journal Analytical Methods, serving as an Associate Editor (2013-2017) and Editor-in-Chief (2017-2023). Dr. Martin and his research group are well-established in the area of developing microchip-based cell culture models with integrated analytical schemes, with the goal to better understand cell-to-cell communication processes. He is an active researcher in the area of using 3D printing to fabricated microfluidics devices. His group is pushing the envelope by developing techniques to further decrease the feature size that can be achieved by 3D printing.
