Christine Devine

Dr Christine Devine is a Senior Lecturer in Medical Education and Year 2 Course Co-ordinator (Assessment) at the Academy for Medical Education, part of the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Queensland. Her academic career spans over two decades with notable contributions to both medical education and developmental neurobiology research.

Her research focuses on understanding neurodevelopmental processes in zebrafish and Xenopus models, particularly axon guidance mechanisms, Hedgehog signaling pathways, and syndecan expression patterns. Concurrently, she actively contributes to STEM education innovation through initiatives like the 'Expert Guide on the Side' approach for learner support in science disciplines.

Notable publications include studies on hypothalamic neurogenesis (eNeuro, 2020), Frizzled-Slit genetic interactions (Mechanisms of Development, 2012), and pituitary development (Developmental Biology, 2009). Though no formal awards are listed, her 12 peer-reviewed works demonstrate sustained academic impact across neuroscience and medical education.

Dr Devine supervises research students and maintains active involvement in curriculum design at the Medical School. She coordinates assessment strategies for Year 2 medical students and collaborates within interdisciplinary teams to enhance medical education outcomes.
