In Chicago she worked on reducing the spread of respiratory diseases and was a member of a research team that developed a vaccine for cholera.

While at Chicago she met Daniel E. Koshland Jr. In , she joined him in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and spent a year working on the Manhattan Project , researching the biological effects of radiation. The two married in and returned to Chicago, where Marian received her Ph. Marian's sister-in-law later recalled that her professor did not want to give her a Ph.

In , she moved with Daniel to Boston, where Marian spent two years in a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School's Department of Bacteriology. They later both worked at the Brookhaven National Laboratory for 13 years. In the early s, Marian Koshland demonstrated the molecular differences between serum-borne and secreted antibodies.

By the s, she had turned her attention to the origins of antibody specificity. Jim Allison, a colleague from Berkeley, said "Bunny analyzed polyclonal antibodies directed against two different haptens, and on the basis of exquisitely careful amino acid composition analyses, convincingly showed that these antibodies had different amino acid compositions and therefore must differ in their amino acid sequence.

These data had a profound effect on theories of antibody formation and how antibody specificity was generated. Legend has it that at the annual meeting of the American Association of Immunology where she first presented her data, her talk was received by a standing ovation—quite high praise indeed. In , Koshland became a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley , joining its faculty in National Academy of Sciences.
