The Swallowing Project

The Swallowing Project is a research initiative focused on understanding and improving how people swallow. It examines the mechanics, disorders, and sensory aspects of swallowing to develop better treatments for those with swallowing difficulties, known as dysphagia. By studying the complex coordination of muscles, nerves, and structures involved, the project aims to enhance diagnosis, therapy, and patient outcomes, ultimately helping individuals safely and comfortably consume food and liquids.
