Dr Fiona McCahey is a Co-Chair of the Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG) and a member of the Research and Policymaker Advisory Group. Fiona’s beloved father Liam was diagnosed with MND in 2022 and passed away in 2024. Her primary goal as a member of the advisory group is to ensure that the voices of those living with MND, and those of their families, are strongly represented in the Guideline.
Fiona’s recent professional experience has been in management consulting and in senior roles at large corporates. Fiona gained her PhD at Cambridge University, where her research focused on artificial intelligence in the discovery of new medicines. She believes that recent advances in AI will soon help to identify treatments for MND.
