About
Per Magne Ueland is a pioneering figure in nutritional biochemistry and clinical metabolomics, best known for his groundbreaking work on one-carbon metabolism and its role in human health. His research has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how B-vitamin status—particularly folate and cobalamin—affects homocysteine regulation and disease risk. Ueland’s major contributions include the development of high-precision analytical methods for quantifying key metabolites such as total homocysteine and methylmalonic acid. His 2005 paper on an automated GC-MS assay for these biomarkers (153 citations) provided a gold-standard tool for diagnosing cobalamin and folate deficiencies, while his 2012 work on a high-throughput HPLC-MS/MS method (133 citations) enabled simultaneous, low-volume profiling of multiple one-carbon metabolites. These innovations have been widely adopted in clinical and epidemiological studies, collectively garnering hundreds of citations and shaping diagnostic guidelines. Ueland’s work has had profound impact on maternal-child health, cardiovascular disease, and cancer research, cementing his legacy as a leader in translating metabolic biochemistry into practical clinical tools.
