Zhenyu Gao

Dr. Zhenyu Gao is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Erasmus MC, specializing in Neurosciences. His research focuses on the cerebellum, motor cortex, and neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular emphasis on motor timing, neuronal dynamics, and cortico-cerebellar loops.

• Role: Associate Professor (Neurosurgery, Erasmus MC)
• Research Themes: Cerebellar circuits, motor planning, glioblastoma drug discovery, and axonal myelination

Research Interests: Dr. Gao’s work explores the neuronal mechanisms of adaptive motor timing, cerebellar control over neurological processes, and therapeutic strategies for glioblastoma. His studies often bridge computational neuroscience, neurosurgical practice, and translational pharmacology.

Recent Publications: His research output includes high-impact articles on cerebellar dynamics in motor planning, CNS-penetrant drug development for glioblastoma, and structural correlates of myelination in the neocortex. These works reflect interdisciplinary collaborations across neuroscience, oncology, and pharmacology.
