Dr. Martijn Beudel is a neurologist working in the Amsterdam University Medical Centers. His main interest is neuromodulation for movement disorders. In his work, he combines clinical neurology with research on deep brain stimulation (DBS). After obtaining his PhD in functional neuro-imaging (2009), he combined his clinical training in neurology (University Medical Center Groningen) with neurophysiological research on deep brain stimulation (DBS). In 2014 and 2015 he did a post-doc on this subject at the University of Oxford in the group of prof. Peter Brown and worked on the development of a new adaptive form of DBS (aDBS) in Parkinson’s disease. After finishing his training in neurology (2016) he was awarded with a fellowship of the Dutch Brain Council. This enabled him to continue to work on aDBS in Groningen. In 2018 he moved to Amsterdam to work as a consultant neurologist in the DBS team of the Amsterdam University Medical Centers. His current research focuses on the actual clinical application of aDBS, the development of neuro-physiological ‘physiomarkers’ that can be used for the application of aDBS and on the application of machine learning for optimizing DBS treatment in movement disorders.
