Thomas John "Jack" Martin FRACP[2] FRCPA[2] is an Australian pathologist, emeritus professor of medicine, physician and academic at University of Melbourne,[1][3] and researcher who, in 1987, by leading a former team of researchers at the same university, discovered a proteinaceous hormone called parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP).[4][5] In September 2005, further research was conducted by the team of Dengshun Miao[6] and David Goltzman at the Calcium Research Laboratory and Department of Medicine, Royal Victoria Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre, and others.[6]

Martin is a member of Natalie A. Sims' laboratory[7] at Saint Vincent's Institute of Medical Research.[8] He works in the institute's Division of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, and his primary interest is cell biology of bones.[9]
