During her PhD at KU Leuven Maaike Vandermosten worked in an interdisciplinary context to gain expertise in the many aspects of reading, speech processing as well as neuroimaging techniques. During her postdoc, she extended her knowledge towards neurodevelopmental and neuroplasticity aspects of language learning. She conducted research stays at University of California San Francisco (UCSF), University of Geneva and at the University of Maastricht. In 2016, she received the Rebecca Sandak young investigator award, which is a prestigious award in the field of reading research. Since 2017, she is a tenure track professor at KULeuven (Department of Neurosciences), during which she further established her research line on dyslexia and extended her research towards aphasia. The general aim of her ongoing projects is to investigate neuroplasticity in relation to written and oral language learning.
