Faculty of Science

Professor Claire Stewart (Professor of Stem Cell Biology) is an academic member of staff with teaching duties. Claire is Chair of the British Society for Research on Ageing (BSRA). She is a board member of the Mercia Stem Cell Alliance and the Northern Vascular Biology Forum. She is also a former public engagement board member of the Society for Endocrinology and a former ACMD working group member on Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs. Claire is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, has a Level 5 Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring and is undertaking her L7 award in Coaching Supervision. Claire is a senior managing editor for the Journal of Cellular & Molecular Exercise Physiology. She also participated as an academic partner in the Royal Society Pairing Scheme.
She has a fundamental research interest in the regulators of skeletal muscle adaptation, in health and disease, with injury and disuse, in elite sport and across the ages. She was one of the first, worldwide, to develop an adult human skeletal muscle stem cell model of muscle wasting with cancer and identified the concept of cellular memory in muscle derived stem cells. She was also one of the first to identify the important role that PI3Kinase plays in enabling insulin-like growth factor-induced survival of skeletal muscle cells. Her current motivation is to translate her mechanistic understanding of muscle adaptation to Sport and Exercise sciences.
