DrMarie McIlroy

I am a senior academic leader and scientist whose work integrates translational cancer research with innovation in medical education. As Deputy Head of the School of Postgraduate Studies and Senior Lecturer in Surgery, I provide strategic leadership across postgraduate education while maintaining an active, internationally collaborative research programme. My career is defined by a commitment to bridging discovery science, clinical relevance, and educational excellence—ensuring that both research and teaching are mutually reinforcing and aligned with healthcare needs.

I have led major curriculum transformation initiatives, contributed to institutional strategy, and developed international partnerships, while simultaneously advancing an independent research programme focused on endocrine drivers of cancer and metabolic disease.
