Danny completed his studies in Biomedical Sciences and Movement Sciences at Maastricht University. During his internships, he developed a strong interest in clinical research and patient-centered science. He is now pursuing his PhD at KU Leuven, where he combines clinical and experimental approaches to investigate how chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy affects proprioception in breast cancer patients. He approaches this by integrating clinical assessments, such as Quantitative Sensory Testing, with advanced laboratory tools like the KINARM robotic system. Through this work, Danny aims to contribute to a better understanding of sensory and motor impairments following chemotherapy and to support the development of improved assessment methods.
