Amanda Drake is a professor at the University of Edinburgh, primarily focusing on the interactions between environmental factors and the epigenome, particularly in relation to DNA methylation. Her research aims to enhance understanding of how environmental exposures during early life can increase the risks of metabolic and neurodevelopmental diseases in later life. Significant aspects of her work investigate how these effects are transmitted across generations through non-genomic mechanisms. Additionally, she is involved in researching the long-term impacts of preterm birth on neurodevelopment, as well as delineating the effects of obesity and metabolic dysfunction on DNA methylation. Through her contributions to the Centre for Cardiovascular Science, she seeks to uncover critical insights into how early life conditions can shape health outcomes throughout the lifespan.
