George M. Martin

Dr. George M. Martin is an active Emeritus Professor of Pathology at the University of Washington and former long time director of the University of Washington Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. As such, his career spans the modern investigation of Alzheimer's disease. His knowledge and contacts in the field are invaluable. His current research interests lie in the application of genetic concepts and methodologies to the elucidation of the pathobiology of aging in man, other mammals, and birds. These studies also address genetic mechanisms underlying the unusual resistance of certain avian species to oxidative damage.
