Caitlin Mcqueen is a Lecturer in Natural Sciences at the University of Chester and Programme Lead for the MSc Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine course. She joined the University in 2022 and teaches across multiple MSc programs including Biotechnology and Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine. Her research focuses on developmental biology, embryology, and the application of these fields to regenerative medicine.
Dr. Mcqueen earned her undergraduate degree from the University of York in 2014 and completed her PhD there in 2018 with a thesis on RNA Polymerase III regulation during Xenopus myogenesis. Her postdoctoral work at the University of Sheffield explored limb development, Shh signaling in avian feather patterning, and Fgf signaling’s role in limb timing.
Her research interests include muscle differentiation, limb patterning, and the interplay between RNA Pol III and developmental processes. Current projects investigate RNA Pol III’s role in vertebrate limb development and musculoskeletal systems. She has published on topics such as Fgf signaling’s role in limb development, Shh-driven feather formation, and skeletal muscle differentiation mechanisms.
While no scientific awards are listed, her work bridges fundamental developmental biology with translational research in regenerative medicine. She advises MSc dissertation students and oversees grants related to her research. Her lab employs ex vivo culture systems and advanced transcriptomic techniques to study developmental timing and patterning.
