2013

Martin was appointed MBE in the 2013 Birthday Honours for "services to plant biotechnology" and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) Most Promising Innovator 2014. Cathie's research into Purple Tomatoes gained her and Dr Eugenio Butelli BBSRC's Most Promising Innovator award in 2014. She has also been recognised by:

2000

Since 2000, Cathie's research has focused on diet and health, researching how crops can be fortified to combat chronic disease across the world. This research has focused on plants which contain natural chemical compounds, which can be seen as 'natural medicines'. Examples include work researching blood oranges, and high-anthocyanin purple tomatoes.

1983

After a period as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Cambridge she moved to the John Innes Centre's Department of Genetics in 1983. She was the first to identify genes which regulated cell shape in plants.

1981

Martin received a First Class Honours degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge. She then went on to obtain her PhD in Biochemistry in 1981, also from Cambridge.

1955

Catherine Rosemary Martin MBE FRS (born April 1955) is a Professor of Plant Sciences at the University of East Anglia and project leader at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, co-ordinating research into the relationship between diet and health and how crops can be fortified to improve diets and address escalating chronic disease globally.
