Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ana I. Coelho's research focuses on hereditary galactosemia, a group of inherited metabolic disorders affecting galactose metabolism. Her work has involved studying the pathophysiology of classic galactosemia, including an examination of animal and cellular models to identify potential treatment targets. Coelho has also investigated the functional and structural impacts of specific missense mutations associated with classic galactosemia. Her publications address current and future therapeutic strategies for the condition, as well as its natural history, drawing on data from registries. She has also contributed to research on bone metabolism, specifically the role of RANK ligand in osteoclast gene expression.
