Former chair of ILSI Benefits of Satiety Panel (Brussels). Former president of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior (SSIB). Marion is currently a trustee for Give A Child a Hope, supporting the Revival Centre, Matugga, Uganda.

As an experimental psychologist I investigate mechanisms underpinning energy balance, appetite and food preferences; then develop interventions for behaviour change to improve health and well-being.  My research on appetite can be further divided into the following core issues: characterising genetic and behavioural susceptibility to obesity; understanding appetite expression and food preference development in early life.
