Dr Marion Butler

Senior Council Member

Dr Marion Butler was appointed as a lecturer in 2008 and currently leads a research group in the department of Biology at Maynooth University. Dr Butler’s research background is in immunology and cancer and her research is funded by the Health Research Board and the Irish Research Council. She previously held several post-doctoral research positions in University College Dublin and published in the areas of innate immune signalling and neuroimmunology.

In her position as principal investigator, she has returned to cancer research, where her expertise in immune signalling is now feeding into her research direction in cancer. She is collaborating with cancer researchers from several national universities and is focused on identifying novel targets involved in the progression of solid cancers including advanced prostate cancer and endocrine-resistant breast cancer.
