Veronique Feipel obtained a PhD in Physical Therapy in 1997 from the University of Brussels (ULB), Belgium. She is currently Associate Professor of Anatomy and Research Methodology at the Institute for Motor Sciences and Institute of Pharmacy (ULB). Her research interests include spine, wrist and knee kinematics and anatomy, functional evaluation of the spine, kinematic applications of 3D computed tomography and gait analysis. She has been serving the ISB as executive council member since 2007 and is a member of the team that has been appointed to organize the ISB Congress in Brussels in 2011.

She says: "Biomechanics is among the disciplines that request and allow collaboration between researchers from a large variety of disciplines. This trans-disciplinary character offers a platform for enriching exchanges between individuals with different backgrounds. It also implies that we are to provide the next generations of biomechanics researchers with a knowledge that crosses the borders of the individual disciplines. Serving the ISB is for me the opportunity to act as facilitator in the view of crossing frontiers between disciplines and countries, in order to help biomechanists from all backgrounds and from all over the world to feel part of this very rich and diverse ISB community."
