Dr. Dang-Vu earned his MD in 2004 at the Université de Liège (Belgium) and then completed his residency in Neurology and a PhD in Biomedical Science at the same university. He did a postdoctoral fellowship in the department of Neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MA, USA) and Harvard Medical School in Boston (MA, USA). He completed a second postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Advanced Research in Sleep Medicine at the Université de Montreal (Canada) and Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal (Canada). He has won several research awards, notably from the Sleep Research Society, the European Sleep Research Society, the Belgian Association for Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine, and the Belgian Neurological Society.

He joined Concordia University (Montreal, Canada) in 2012, where he was appointed Assistant Professor in Clinical Imaging.
