Dr. Luuk Wieske

  • Role: Neurologist

Luuk Wieske completed his medical degree cum laude at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). He subsequently worked as a resident in Neurology at the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis in Amsterdam. During his studies and residency, he developed a strong interest in neuromuscular disorders, infection, and inflammation. This interest led to a PhD project at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers (location AMC), conducted within the Departments of Intensive Care Medicine and Neurology and supported by a personal ZonMw–AGIKO grant (2011). His research focused on the effects of severe systemic inflammation on the neuromuscular system during critical illness. As part of his PhD training, he completed a research fellowship in London, where he worked on nerve excitability. He defended his thesis in 2014 and began his Neurology residency at Amsterdam UMC, location AMC. In 2020, he registered as a neurologist and worked as fellow in neuromuscular disorders. In 2021, he started working as a clinical neurophysiologist, first at the Sint Antonius Hospital and, since 2026, at Amsterdam UMC, with a focus on neuromuscular disorders. His current clinical and research focus is on biomarkers and clinimetric research in inflammatory neuropathies, with particular emphasis on chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
