Upon graduating in 1951 he joined the team led by Frank Fenner at the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) which was researching myxomatosis. For two years from 1959, Marshall was at the University of California, Berkeley, where he trained in field and laboratory investigations of arboviruses and collaborated in studies on the epidemiology of myxomatosis locally. On returning to Australia, Marshall established at the JCSMR an arbovirus laboratory which became one of Australia's major centres of arbovirus research. He undertook the first systematic study of arboviruses in Papua New Guinea, then applied his methodologies to studies in southeastern Australia. His research teams investigated Murray Valley encephalitis and Ross River viruses, and identified novel arboviruses including the Gan Gan and Barmah Forest viruses and a new reovirus which was named Nelson Bay. Marshall continued his research as Emeritus Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Australian National University for 12 years after retiring in 1987 1942 1945 Military service - Second World War.
