The UAD Lab is headed to the DRS Annual Meeting! We’re excited to share our latest research, connect with colleagues, and contribute to advancing the science of swallowing and airway protection. Grateful for the opportunity to present and represent our team’s hard work. See you there!
Our very own Dr. Michelle Troche will be speaking on EMST via telehealth this Wednesday during this free webinar presented by @aspirerespiratoryproducts open to all!
Registration is free: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The UAD Lab is heading to the ASHA Convention 2025 in Washington, DC!
We’re proud to be giving two oral presentations this year, sharing our latest research on swallowing and upper airway function.
If you’ll be at #ASHA2025, come see our talks and connect with us — we’d love to discuss our work!
🧠 Calling all Speech-Language Pathologists!
Do you work with individuals with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)? We’d love to chat about your clinical experiences to help us shape our research in the area of PSP and dysphagia management.

It is a new academic year and we are excited to continue to grow our team. A huge, warm welcome to all of the new members joining the UAD Lab! 🎉 We're so excited to have your fresh perspectives, brilliant ideas, and energy as we dive into another year of meaningful research!
Dr. Troche had the pleasure of presenting at the 2025 NYC Dysphagia Symposium - presenting twice during the weekend. It was especially wonderful to see past and present @tc_csd students and trainees. Congratulations to @dysphagiacafe for a wonderful meeting.
Back from a great #ESSD2025 conference in beautiful Athens! @airwaylab PhD student Katya Villarreal shared findings from her developing research on saliva production and airway protection in Parkinson’s disease. It was also a joy to share the experience with our colleagues at the @nyuswallowinglab!
Thinking about a PhD in CSD and interested in joining the UAD Lab?
Join us for our Virtual Open House to learn more about the program, meet faculty advisors, and connect with current PhD students!

Had a wonderful time with @ctld_lab at the @pmdalliance CEREBRandO con mi barrio Healthy Brains Workshop in Washington Heights. We loved dancing, boxing, and learning with and from people living with PD - and sharing clinical and research opportunities available at TC.
We have loved celebrating our @tc_csd @airwaylab graduates! Cheers to all the wonderful things to come! #teacherscollege #speechlanguagepathology #csd
The lab has been bustling with training opportunities. Special thanks to @aspirerespiratoryproducts, @caroline_brindo_slp, @iopimedical, @simplythick_llc for their generosity.
Next up, lab members will be attending the 30th World Congress on Parkinson’s Disease and Related Disorders, hosted by the International Association of Parkinsonism and Related Disorders (IAPRD) in NYC! Stay tuned - more updates to come!

We have recently enjoyed speaking at many Parkinson’s disease community and support groups around the tri-state area. The UAD team has also disseminated our clinical-research findings at meetings like the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Stroke Course, NY Dysphagia Study Group, and through online webinars.
We have been quiet on social media, but busy in the lab! 🗣️
Lately we have been focused on community outreach and dissemination of our work. Here are some pictures from the Annual Dysphagia Research Society Meeting - where we enjoyed networking, learning, and sharing our work.
Hello! We have finally made the leap to @bsky.app. We look forward to sharing our lab updates on #cough and #swallowing #clinical research here!
