FREIA is an EU-funded project that aims to improve identification of chemicals that affect women’s health via disruption of the hormone system. Our project is called FREIA – Female Reproductive toxicity of EDCs: a human evidence-based screening and Identification Approach, after the Nordic Goddess of fertility.The FREIA project has received €6.1 million funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 825100 (FREIA). FREIA focused on chemicals that can disturb the endocrine sysatem, these chemicals are called "Endocrine Disrupting Compounds" (EDCs).Hormones and the endocrine system are vital for pregnancy and fetal development, making this an especially vulnerable time.

Biography
I received my BSc Hons and PhD in Zoology at the University of Aberdeen. I later moved to Obstetrics & Gynaecology, University of Aberdeen, to work on ovarian hormones and antiprogesterones. In 2000 I moved to the Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Aberdeen as a Professor of Translational Medical Sciences. I was the Director of the Institute of Medical Sciences in the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition at Aberdeen from 2015 to 2021.
I have spent much of my career working on elucidating mechanisms in the regulation of reproduction and have over 140 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters and editorials. At each stage I made contributions in the use of technologies to answer reproductive questions, including: remote telemetry of body-testis temperature differentials, MRI analysis of body composition and mammary gland, phage library and protein purification techniques to investigate reproductive proteins and proteomic and microarray techniques to study fetal development and endometriosis. Since the turn of the century, my research has focused on the effects of maternal factors, environmental exposures and endocrine disruption on fetal development and subsequent health in both human and animal models. My group is one of the few to work on the normal first and second trimester human fetus and uses maternal smoking, obesity and deprivation as a model to understand how adverse in-utero environment disturbs fetal development in our own species.

Research Overview
Since the breakthrough epidemiological studies of the 1980s it has been clear that adult human health is dependent upon fetal development and fetal programming (‘early life programming’). Fetal growth restriction, for example, can lead to hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease in the adult. This fetal programming is also termed "Developmental Origins of Health and Disease" (DOHaD) or "Fetal Origins of Adult Disease. Dysfunctional changes in the fetus can arise through a range of mechanisms, such as:
- maternal cigarette smoking
- maternal obesity
- maternal deprivation
- maternal nutrition
- maternal environmental pollutant exposure (such as air pollution)
- maternal medication use
We are studying these factors primarily in the human itself, by studying fetuses aborted for non-medical reasons. This is supported by the SAFeR Study (Scottish Advanced Fetal Research study). The health trajectory of an individual offspring is likely to depend upon a range of maternal and lifestyle factors, including the chemical burden carried at birth. Fetal pollutant exposure has clear adverse effects on development but we have very little knowledge about levels of fetal exposure to “real-life” complex pollutant cocktails and developmental consequences. This fundamental lack of knowledge is a major impasse to developing strategies for reducing fetal pollutant burdens and predicting likely health outcomes. Available data is limited, and often indirect (i.e. animal models or surrogates of exposure), but all studies suggest that fetal pollutant exposure affects lifelong health outcomes and, thereby, impacts on the general economy.
As well as laboratory-based studies of the human fetus my group has also become involved in epidemiological studies in the same field. Our intention with this move is to improve linkage between the individual fetus/mother (laboratory) and population-wide (epidemiology) analyses of maternal environment/lifestyle effects on the fetus and its future health.
Our aim is to understand how maternal factors disturb human fetal development, leading to offspring with greater risk of adverse health outcomes.
Our objective is to identify mechanisms linking these maternal factors with sub-optimal fetal development and lifelong health burdens.
