Biography

After studying Biochemistry at the University of Edinburgh, Dr Dilys Freeman undertook her PhD in industry at Glaxo Group Research in Middlesex. Postdoctoral positions in Glasgow and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas were followed by her first academic appointment in Biological Science at the University of Durham. Dilys joined the University of Glasgow in 1999. Dr Freeman's early research was in the field of cardiovascular disease in particular lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. She studied cholesteryl ester transfer protein and its role in high density lipoprotein metabolism as well as the genetic regulation of plasma high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein levels. Dilys has been involved in the analysis of the West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS), in particular the influence of inflammation, statins and genetics on the aetiology of type 2 diabetes. Her current research is in the field of metabolism in diabetes and also in pregnancy. 

Research interests

Research Theme: Metabolic Disease

My current research predominantly focuses on metabolism in pregnancy and its vascular complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus and growth restriction. The focus is on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and inflammation in obese pregnancy and the role of vascular function, the adipocyte and ectopic fat in the development of adverse pregnancy outcome. The metabolic cross-talk between mother and baby, its regulation by the placenta and long term disease implications for the offspring are also of interest.


Research on type 2 diabetes involves exploring the links between adipose tissue expandability and ectopic fat accumulation. I am involved in studies comparing how adipose tissue from Europeans and South Asians adapts to weight gain and weight loss and in studies looking at how muscle stores triglyceride in insulin resistant states.
