Steven graduated from Ghent University in Belgium in 2005. After graduation, he performed there a Rotating Internship followed by a PhD about disk-associated cervical spondylomyelopathy (‘wobbler’s syndrome’) in dogs. He completed his Residency in Neurology and Neurosurgery at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) in the United Kingdom. After he became a board-certified neurology specialist, he stayed on at the RVC and is now Professor and Head of the RVC Neurology and Neurosurgery service. Although he is interested in all aspects of veterinary neurology, most of his research and publications focus on spinal disorders, neurosurgery and clinical reasoning. Steven has published widely in international journals and presented most of his work at international conferences. He enjoys teaching and is therefore regularly involved in continuing education events around the world.
