College of Natural & Social Sciences
Department of Biological Sciences
INTRODUCTION
Dr. McQueen received her Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology
from the UCLA Medical School in 1986, followed by post-doctoral
training in Biology at Beckman Research Institute at the City of
Hope. She joined the faculty at California State University, Los
Angeles, as an Assistant Professor in 1989. She was promoted to
Associate Professor in 1995, and to full Professor in 2000.
Dr. McQueen was the recipient of an
Outstanding Professor Award
at CSULA in 1997. She is a licensed Clinical
Laboratory Scientist in the state of California, and is an
associate member of the American Society of Clinical Pathology.
For the 2004-2005 academic year, Dr. McQueen is also serving as the Chairperson of the Biology Department.
TEACHING INTERESTS
Dr. McQueen teaches a wide variety of courses including General
Medical Microbiology, Pathogenic Bacteriology, Virology, Hematology
and Molecular Diagnostics. In addition, she provides research
training to undergraduate and graduate students in the Department
of Biological Sciences.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
The focus of Dr. McQueen's research is on the structure and
function of Sendai virus proteins as they relate to viral
pathogenesis. The long-term goal of her lab is to elucidate the
molecular mechanisms involved in viral infection. Listed below are
some of her more recent publications.
