Professor Marshall is a Research Leader in Vaccines & Infectious Disease at the Robinson Research Institute, The University of Adelaide, and Clinical Research Director at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital. She is a nationally and internationally recognised leader in vaccine research, particularly for her work in preventing deaths and disability from life threatening infections such as meningococcal disease.
