Martin is a physician-scientist and postdoctoral fellow under the mentorship of Drs. Christine and Jonathan Seidman at Harvard Medical School. He received his medical degree from the University of Rostock, Germany, where his doctoral thesis investigated cardiac stem cell populations after myocardial infarction. During his medical training in cardiothoracic surgery at the University Heart and Vascular Center Hamburg, his research focused on valvular heart diseases and their interventional treatment, as well as AI-based CT imaging for automated assessment of cardiac morphology and function. His current work in the Seidman Lab focuses on structural and molecular remodeling of the heart in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, studying both human cardiac tissue and a genome-edited HCM pig model. By integrating deep-learning-based 3D volumetric imaging, single-nucleus RNA sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics, these projects aim to define genotype- and stage-specific remodeling patterns in HCM.
