About
Terri McVeigh is a leading researcher in the field of inborn errors of metabolism, with a particular focus on the molecular and biochemical underpinnings of rare genetic disorders. Her work has significantly advanced our understanding of classical galactosaemia, a potentially life-threatening condition affecting the body's ability to metabolize galactose. In her highly cited 2016 study, McVeigh provided novel insights into the role of IgG N-glycosylation and N-glycan biosynthesis in the pathophysiology of this disease, revealing how disrupted glycan processing contributes to long-term complications. This research, which has garnered 46 citations, has opened new avenues for therapeutic intervention and biomarker development. Beyond her contributions to galactosaemia, McVeigh’s broader research portfolio encompasses the genetic basis of metabolic diseases and the application of advanced analytical techniques to unravel complex disease mechanisms. Her work is distinguished by its translational impact, bridging fundamental biochemistry with clinical practice to improve diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients with rare metabolic conditions.
