Steven graduated from Ghent University in Belgium. 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 becoming a board- certified neurology specialist, he stayed on at the RVC and is now Professor in Neurology and Neurosurgery. He has been Head of service for Neurology and Neurosurgery for almost 10 years and is now Clinical Director of the RVC’s Small Animal Referral Hospital. 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 more than 170 papers in international journals, presented most of his work at international conferences, and published in 2023 a neurology guide aimed to make neurology more accessible for the clinical practitioner. He enjoys teaching and is therefore regularly involved in continuing education events around the world.
