Our Mission
The Airway Protection Research Lab is dedicated to advancing our understanding of swallowing, cough, and breathing dysfunction so that we can translate these findings into novel, evidence-based treatments.
Our overarching goal is to improve health outcomes and quality of life for patients and care partners. Our interdisciplinary approach integrates expertise from swallowing, respiratory physiology, neuroscience, and rehabilitation sciences to better understand airway protection from a multisystem perspective. To accomplish these goals, we use a range of clinical and research tools.
