A/Prof Marian Burr is a clinician scientist and Snow Fellow heading the Cancer Immunology Epigenetics Laboratory at John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR), The Australian National University. Marian completed her medical education and early clinical training in the UK, and then undertook a PhD at the University of Cambridge under Professor Paul Lehner, focusing on MHC class I regulation. After establishing a cancer immunology research program in Cambridge, she trained in cancer epigenetics at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne. She was awarded a prestigious Cancer Research UK Clinician Scientist Fellowship and has published extensively in top journals such as Nature and Cancer Cell. Her research interests are primarily in cancer cell biology, epigenetics, and immune regulation, particularly concerning lung cancer and thoracic malignancies. Marian's work utilizes genome-scale functional genetic screening to uncover new immunotherapy targets and aims to develop novel treatments that improve outcomes for cancer patients suffering from immunotherapy resistance.
