Dawn Livingstone serves as an Academic Track Lecturer at the Centre for Cardiovascular Science, University of Edinburgh, where she leads research at the intersection of endocrinology and metabolic disease. Her work investigates how tissue-specific pre-receptor metabolism of steroid hormones modulates their effects on fuel metabolism, body fat distribution, and behavior.
Dr. Livingstone's research program reveals critical mechanisms linking steroid hormone processing to obesity and diabetes susceptibility. A significant finding involves identifying a novel steroid hormone metabolite with therapeutic potential as a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator for inflammatory conditions. This work demonstrates direct translational pathways from basic metabolic research to clinical applications.
Her research group operates within the University of Edinburgh's Queens Medical Research Institute at the Edinburgh Bioquarter campus. Detailed information about ongoing projects and methodologies is available through the group's dedicated webpage: Centre for Cardiovascular Science Research Group.
