Who I am

Laure Marignol, PhD. Radiobiologist, Scientist, Educator.

Prof. Laure Marignol, PhD.

Radiobiologist, Scientist, Educator.

French-born, I trained across Europe (B.Sc. in Health Engineering—France/Germany; M.Sc. in Radiobiology—UK; PhD in Clinical Medicine—Ireland) and now lead Radiation Biology at Trinity College Dublin. Her investigative journey targets the selective destruction of cancer cells by ionising radiation, combining in vitro model design, molecular disease stratification, and therapeutic innovation. Much of my translational work has centred on prostate cancer, supported by close collaboration with the Urology Department at St James’s Hospital, Dublin. I am widely recognised for advancing oxygenation/hypoxia biology in radiotherapy and for my commitment to training students and Health Care Professionals in rigorous research methods and radiobiology.

My research is driven by the imperative to reveal biological variables that shape treatment outcomes but remain hard to measure, underexamined within sex‑linked biology, or inconsistently addressed across sex‑ and gender‑informed research. I develop tools that convert these “invisible drivers” into measurable, actionable parameters because without them, medicine continues to optimise against an incomplete map of human biology, constraining scientific progress and the fairness of clinical translation.
