About This Lab
This multidisciplinary research laboratory studies the interrelated mechanisms of swallowing, breathing, ingestion, airway clearance, airway compromise and movement of materials throughout the upper aerodigestive system.
Specifically we are working to :
- Delineate mechanisms contributing to upper aerodigestive regulation and dysfunction as a preclinical indicator of disease across the lifespan.
2. Developing and testing of novel biomarkers as research tools for prehabilitation and rehabilitation studies.
3. Applying and evaluating novel therapeutic options for the rehabilitation of upper aerodigestive disorders.
