Emily Toth Martin is Associate Professor of Epidemiology, with tenure, at the School of Public Health, focuses on infectious diseases and respiratory viruses – including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and RSV – and strategies to prevent and treat infection. Her research includes studies of vaccine effectiveness and virus transmission in community, hospital, and ambulatory settings. Dr Martin’s research is funded by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and philanthropic organizations. Dr Martin’s scientific contributions include studies to improve observational designs for measurement of vaccine effectiveness, and immunologic studies of correlates of protection. Her work includes studies of the epidemiology and transmission of respiratory viruses with associated vaccines (influenza and SARS-CoV-2) and those viruses for which vaccines may be forthcoming (RSV). Her work on transmission includes community-based, active surveillance studies that evaluate patterns of viral transmission in households and within childcare, including a case-ascertained study of close-contact transmission. Laboratory detection of viruses and immune correlates is key to this line of research, and Dr Martin oversees a large field team and associated laboratory to support this effort. Dr Martin is a core investigator for the CDC’s US Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Network, the CDC’s IVY network for hospital vaccine effectiveness, and the NIAID Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response. Dr Martin has a PhD and MPH in Epidemiology from the University of Washington School of Public Health and a BS in Microbiology from the University of Michigan. She completed her post-doctoral fellowship at the Seattle Children’s Research Institute, followed by tenure track faculty positions at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan. She is a former health policy fellow with the UM Center for Health and Research Transformation and an alumnus of the ADVAC Advanced Course in Vaccinology.
