After working as a bacteriologist at a milk processing plant to earn money, he received his Master of Arts postgraduate M.A. in zoology from Oberlin College in 1945. He earned a doctorate Ph.D. from the department of biochemistry at the University of Michigan in 1948. Working with Rita Levi Montalcini co recipient of the Nobel Prize in 1986 at Washington University in St. Louis in the 1950s, Cohen isolated nerve growth factor and then went on to discover epidermal growth factor . He continued his research on cellular growth factors after moving to Vanderbilt University in 1959.

Cairns received his M.D. from Oxford . He then worked as a virologist at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia and at the Virus Research Institute at Entebbe , Uganda. He returned to Australia to work at in the School of Microbiology at the John Curtin School of Medical Research . Cairns took a sabbatical to research at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory between 1960 and 1961, and returned there to serve as the director from 1963 to 1968. He remained a staff member at Cold Spring Harbor until 1972, when he was appointed head of the Mill Hill Laboratory of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in Oxford. After he was appointed at Mill Hill he also worked at the Harvard School of Public Health . He retired in 1991. In his 1963 paper The bacterial chromosome and its manner of replication as seen by autoradiography , Cairns demonstrated by autoradiography that the DNA of the bacterium Escherichia coli was a single molecule that is replicated at a moving locus the replicating fork at which both new DNA strands are being synthesized. Subsequently, it was found that there were in fact two moving forks, traveling simultaneously in opposite directions around the chromosome. In 1974 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society . In 1981, John Cairns received a MacArthur Foundation genius Fellowship. He is the author of the 1978 book Cancer Science and Society now out of print and the 1997 book, Matters of Life and Death Perspectives on Public Health, Molecular Biology, Cancer, and the Prospects for the Human Race .

From this double blind controlled trial he and his colleagues were to make a break through discovery in that cholesterol lowering statins reduce the risk of first heart attack rather than just the benefits in these being administered to patients who had already experienced an heart attack. Studies results The results of the WOSCOPS study and trial were simultaneously presented at the Annual Conference of the American Heart Association November, 1995 and in The New England Journal of Medicine . The study findings have led to treatment by administering of pravastatins being adopted around the world in prevention of ischaemic heart disease.
