Dr S.J. Forkel (Stephanie)

Dr Stephanie Forkel is an Associate Professor at Radboud University and a Principal Investigator at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, where she leads the Clinical Neuroanatomy of Language research group and the Donders Theme 1 'Language & Communication'. She is also a Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (MPI-NL).
Her research focuses on the neurobiology of language and neurovariability, integrating advanced neuroimaging, white-matter tractography, lesion-based approaches, and behavioural profiling to understand how distributed brain networks support language and cognition across health and disease.
Her work bridges fundamental and clinical neuroscience, with the aim of advancing network-based and precision approaches to language disorders.
