Lucian Marts

  • Department of Medicine
    Assistant Professor

Head shot of Lucian Marts

Overview

Dr. Marts is a native of Atlanta, GA and completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Georgia. He subsequently moved to Augusta, GA where he completed his medical degree at the Medical College of Georgia. He then went on to Boston, MA where he completed an internal medicine residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and braved the fierce Boston winters. The sunny Georgia weather continued to call to him, so he moved back to Atlanta where he completed his fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Emory University. It was here that under the guidance of Drs. David Guidot and Viranuj Sueblinvong, Lucian performed basic science research aimed at identifying the mechanism by which chronic HIV infection and alcohol use promote lung fibrosis. Dr. Marts joined the Emory faculty in 2018 as an assistant professor of medicine. His work is divided between Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, and Emory University Hospital with a specific clinical interest in rare and orphan lung diseases, sarcoidosis, and interstitial lung disease. He has a translational research focus on sarcoidosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease. In addition to his clinical and research work he has the opportunity to teach medical students, residents, and fellows in the inpatient and outpatient settings.
