Rebecca Reynolds is Professor of Metabolic Medicine, University of Edinburgh, and Honorary Consultant Physician in Diabetes & Endocrinology, NHS Lothian. Her research focus is a life-course approach to prevention of non-communicable diseases. She has a) used healthcare-record data-linkage and cohort studies to document the consequences of a mother’s health in pregnancy on the health of next and future generations; b) identified underpinning mechanisms through experimental medicine studies embedded within clinical practice; and c) tested novel interventions to improve pregnancy outcomes in clinical trials. Her work has been incorporated into National Guidelines for management of obesity and diabetes in pregnancy.
