Swallowing Research Laboratory

The Swallowing Research Laboratory focuses on studying the process of swallowing, which is crucial for eating and drinking. Researchers investigate how the muscles and nerves work together to ensure safe and effective swallowing. This lab aims to understand swallowing disorders, helping to develop better treatments and interventions for individuals who have difficulty swallowing, often due to conditions like stroke or neurological diseases. By improving our understanding of swallowing mechanics, the lab contributes to better healthcare outcomes and enhances the quality of life for those affected by swallowing difficulties.
