À propos
Biographie
Yves Vandermeeren is a Neurologist involved in the care of acute and chronic stroke patients and in the study of neuroplasticity after stroke.
He obtained is M.D. degree at the UCLouvain (Belgium, 1998), and his Ph.D. in Neuroscience in the Lab. of Neurophysiology (UCLouvain, 2003). After completing the Neurology residency program, he pursued his research on post-stroke plasticity as a Post-Doc Fellow at the NIH (National Institute of Health, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Maryland, US, 2005-2007).
In 2007, he joined the Neurology Department of the CHU UCL Namur (Mont-Godinne, Belgium), where he works half-time as a stroke neurologist and head of Stroke Unit, and half-time as a neuroscientist. He has been appointed Tenured Professor in 2020 (UCLouvain). He teaches in the Faculty of Medicine of UCLouvain and UNamur and in the Faculty of Motor Sciences. He is an active member of the Institute of NeuroScience (IoNS, UCL) and the Louvain Bionics consortium.

Domaines d'expertises
His main research topics are motor control and motor learning in the human being (healthy individuals and stroke patients), the plasticity of the motor system studied with advanced structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), developing new neurorehabilitation approaches based on motor learning to enhance recovery of motor function after a stroke with the help of robotics, AI and neuroimaging.
Responsabilités externes
He is one of the founding members of the Belgian Society for NeuroRehabilitation (bSNR), and a board member of the bSNR. He is also a member of the Belgian Stroke Council (BSC) since 2008, where he served as President of the Scientific Board (2009-2013).
