Dr. Dang-Vu is a Full Professor at Concordia University in Montreal, where he currently holds the University Research Chair in Sleep, Neuroimaging and Cognitive Health. He is also an attending neurologist and the Associate Director for Clinical Research at the Institut Universitaire de Gériatrie de Montreal, a Professeur associé at the University of Montreal, and an Adjunct Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University. Dr. Dang-Vu received his MD and PhD from the Université de Liège in Belgium, and completed post-doctoral fellowships in the department of Neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, as well as at the Center for Advanced Research in Sleep Medicine at the Université de Montreal. His research is focused, in part, on the pathophysiology of sleep disorders using multi-modal neuroimaging and EEG, including his team’s 2017 brain imaging study, which found that participants with IH showed regional cerebral blood flow differences compared to participants without IH.
