Professor Seamus Martin
Smurfit Professor of Medical Genetics, Genetics
Biography
Seamus Martin holds the Smurfit Chair of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland (since 1999). He was elected to The Royal Irish Academy in 2006, to the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in 2009 and to Academia Europaea in 2023. He served as President of the European Cell Death Organization (ECDO) from 2016-2018 and was awarded an ERC Advanced grant in 2021. He co-wrote (with Pete Delves, Dennis Burton and Ivan Roitt) the 11th, 12th and 13th Editions of the classic undergraduate Immunology textbook `Essential Immunology" and has served as Editor-in-Chief of The FEBS Journal (Cambridge, UK), an international life sciences journal, since 2014 to present.
The Martin laboratory is interested in all aspects of programmed cell death, especially the links between cell death, inflammation and cancer. Some key papers: Introduction of annexin V-labelling, the gold standard for measuring apoptosis (Martin et al., 1995 J. Exp. Med.), Unravelling the apoptosis-associated caspase activation cascade (Slee et al., 1999 J. Cell Biol.), Oncogenic Ras promotes autophagic cell death (Elgendy et al., 2011 Molecular Cell), Apoptotic cells can be pro-inflammatory (Cullen et al., 2013 Molecular Cell; Henry et al., 2017 Molecular Cell), Parkin activation can promote apoptosis (Hollville et al., 2014 Molecular Cell; Carroll et al., 2014 Cell Reports) Discovery of the mechanism of activation of the IL-36 cytokine family (Henry et al., 2016 Cell Reports; Clancy et al., 2018 Cell Reports); ER Stress promotes inflammation via TRAIL receptors (Sullivan et al., 2020 Developmental Cell); IL-37 is pro-inflammatory via IL-36 receptor engagement (Sullivan et al., 2022 Science Immunology).
Necrotic cell death either instigates inflammation (in sterile injury contexts) or is a key amplifier of inflammation (during infection). In both scenarios, molecules released from dead cells (collectively called DAMPs, damage-associated molecular patterns) trigger inflammation. However, exactly what constitutes a DAMP has been the subject of much debate. We are currently exploring the idea that members of the extended IL-1 family constitute the key DAMPs and how IL-1 family cytokines become activated/inactivated. We are also actively exploring how cell stress (e.g. due to chemotherapy) triggers inflammation.

Research Expertise
Description
The Martin laboratory is interested in all aspects of programmed cell death, especially the links between cell death, inflammation and cancer. Some key papers: Introduction of annexin V-labelling, the gold standard for measuring apoptosis (Martin et al., 1995 J. Exp. Med.), Unravelling the apoptosis-associated caspase activation cascade (Slee et al., 1999 J. Cell Biol.), Oncogenic Ras promotes autophagic cell death (Elgendy et al., 2011 Molecular Cell), Apoptotic cells can be pro-inflammatory (Cullen et al., 2013 Molecular Cell; Henry et al., 2017 Molecular Cell), Parkin activation can promote apoptosis (Hollville et al., 2014 Molecular Cell; Carroll et al., 2014 Cell Reports) Discovery of the mechanism of activation of the IL-36 cytokine family (Henry et al., 2016 Cell Reports; Clancy et al., 2018 Cell Reports); ER Stress promotes inflammation via TRAIL receptors (Sullivan et al., 2020 Developmental Cell); IL-37 is pro-inflammatory via IL-36 receptor engagement (Sullivan et al., 2022 Science Immunology). Necrotic cell death either instigates inflammation (in sterile injury contexts) or is a key amplifier of inflammation (during infection). In both scenarios, molecules released from dead cells (collectively called DAMPs, damage-associated molecular patterns) trigger inflammation. However, exactly what constitutes a DAMP has been the subject of much debate. We are currently exploring the idea that members of the extended IL-1 family constitute the key DAMPs and how IL-1 family cytokines become activated/inactivated. We are also actively exploring how cell stress (e.g. due to chemotherapy) triggers inflammation Molecular Control of Apoptosis (programmed cell death). Natural Killer Cell and CTL proteases (particularly granzyme B) and their mode of action. The role of Bcl-2 family proteins in chemoresistance in cancer. The role of caspases in inflammation. IL-1 family cytokines and inflammation. Cell Stress and Inflammation. Cell Senescence and Inflammation. Cancer chemotherapy. Regulation of entry to cell senescence by chemotherapy.Recognition
