We are pleased to announce that Gregory S. Martin, MD, MSc, has been named division director for the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, effective March 1, 2023. He joined the Emory faculty in 2000 and has served as Executive Associate Division Director since 2018.

He is also the co-Director of the Atlanta Center for Microsystems Engineered Point-of-Care Technologies with Dr. Wilbur Lam at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Dr. Oliver Brand at Georgia Tech, which has led the NIH efforts to expand national COVID-19 test availability through the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) program. Dr. Martin also serves as the Director of Research for the Emory Center for Critical Care and previously chaired the Critical Care Committee at Grady Memorial Hospital. His research focuses on sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome, spanning epidemiology, health services, and data science research through biomarker studies to randomized trials of novel therapies, totaling more than $300 million in research funding. He has numerous high-impact publications and is a two-time recipient of the Emory University MilliPub Club award for publications cited more than 1,000 times.

An experienced clinician, educator, and physician-scientist focused on clinically impactful research in critical care medicine, monitoring, and diagnostics, with deep academic and healthcare administration skills, he holds several positions and memberships on national and international panels, committees, boards, and societies and is well-respected in his field. Dr. Martin serves on the U.S. national COVID-19 Guideline Panel and he was elected and served as President for the Society of Critical Care Medicine from 2021 to 2022.

Dr. Martin received his undergraduate degree from Duke University and his medical degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, where he also completed his Internal Medicine residency and fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. After joining Emory’s faculty in 2000, he received his Master of Science in Clinical Research degree from Emory in 2004. Dr. Martin was honored as an Eminent Physician, the highest distinction bestowed upon physicians in Emory’s School of Medicine, where he is also a tenured professor in the Department of Medicine. He is a graduate of the Woodruff Leadership Academy and the Alliance of Academic Internal Medicine’s Executive Leadership Program.

As Dr. Martin steps into the role of Division Director, we also want to express sincere appreciation to the interim director, Jonathan Sevransky, MD, MHS, professor of medicine, for his leadership of the division’s clinical, research, and teaching activities since he began the role in July of last year.

We look forward to Dr. Martin’s leadership of the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine and ask you to welcome him as he helps to lead the Department of Medicine’s mission to advance health through discovery, education, and care.
