Biography
Veronique Feipel is a Professor of Anatomy at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium. She is currently Dean of the Faculty of Motor Sciences and coordinator of the Research Master in Motor Sciences at ULB. She completed her PhD at ULB in 1997 and was a postdoctoral fellow in the LIS-3D – Sainte-Justine Hospital, Montreal, in 2000. Veronique has been awarded the honour of being designated Fellow of the International Society of Biomechanics (inaugural class) and LK Fellow of the VUB.
Veronique’s research interests include spine, wrist and knee kinematics, clinical applications of musculoskeletal modelling and gait analysis. Over the past few years, her personal interest in sports led her to focus research efforts on the prevention of running related injuries and its link to running biomechanics. Veronique leads a group of researchers in the Laboratory of Functional Anatomy aiming to facilitate clinical penetration of biomechanics research.
