McLaren studied zoology at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, receiving a Ph.D. in 1952. That same year she began fundamental research into mouse embryology at University College London (UCL) with her then husband, Donald Michie (Michie, Donald ) . (They were divorced in 1959 but remained friends.) McLaren did significant work (1959–74) in animal genetics at the University of Edinburgh, as director (1974–92) of the Medical Research Council's Mammalian Development Unit at UCL, and as a principal researcher (1992–2007) at the Wellcome Trust. McLaren was made a fellow of the Royal Society in 1975 and appointed DBE in 1993. She was traveling with Michie from Cambridge to London when they were both killed in a car accident.
