Claire Wilson

Claire Wilson is a Lecturer in Pharmacology at the University of Chester's Faculty of Health, Medicine and Society. Her research integrates transcriptomic and epigenomic approaches with bioinformatics tools, focusing on DNA methylation, long non-coding RNAs, and calcium signaling in cardiovascular and cancer contexts. She collaborates with the University of Liverpool and University of Birmingham on oncogene-induced replication stress, and maintains cardiovascular partnerships with the University of Manchester.

• PhD in Molecular Biology (University of Manchester, 2014-2017)
• MRes in Molecular Biology (University of Manchester, 2013-2014)
• BSc in Biological Sciences (University of Liverpool, 2010-2013)

Her research portfolio spans two major domains: cardiovascular epigenetics (investigating AV/Sinus node dysfunction through proteomic/transcriptomic analysis) and cancer epigenetics (exploring lncRNA regulation of DNA methylation and the 8q24.21 cancer locus). Recent publications demonstrate expertise in bioinformatics integration, mouse modeling, and calcium homeostasis mechanisms. Articles cluster around:

• Calcium handling in cardiac arrhythmias (PMCA1, HCN channels)
• Epigenetic regulation of cancer (lncRNAs, DNA methylation)
• Inflammatory pathways in heart failure
• ERM phosphorylation and vascular calcification
• Replication stress in oncology
• Translational cardiovascular pharmacology
