Sarah Libbrecht studied Biochemistry at the KU Leuven. In 2017 she obtained a PhD in biomedical sciences at the KU Leuven for her work on unravelling the role of the anterior olfactory nucleus in the adult neurogenesis of rodents using new neuromodulation techniques. In this study, she collaborated with imec on one of the first neuroprobes that combined stimulation and registration of neuronal activity. After obtaining her doctoral degree, she joined imec and worked as a senior bio-application specialist on the development of the cell sorter chip for cell therapy applications.
