Dr. Martin is a world-renowned neuroscientist whose lab integrates molecular cell biological, electrophysiological, and next-generation genomic approaches to understand how experience changes brain connectivity to store long-term memories. Outside of UCLA, Dr. Marin is a Senior Fellow at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus. She serves on the editorial board of Cell, the board of directors of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the board of directors of the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine.
