Congratulations to SCSC post-doctoral fellow, Dr.

Congratulations to SCSC post-doctoral fellow, Dr. Ankita Bhutada! 🎉

We are proud to announce that Dr. Ankita Bhutada has been awarded the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHF) New Investigator’s Research Grant for her study: “Accelerating Parkinson’s Disease Clinical Research in Swallowing and Motor Speech Disorders: A Novel Large-Language Model-Based Solution for Optimizing Clinical Trials Efficiency”!

The ASHF New Investigator’s Grant supports early-career researchers through one-year preliminary studies that lay the foundation for larger-scale, clinically relevant work in audiology and speech-language pathology.

We look forward to the impact of Dr. Bhutada’s research on advancing clinical trial efficiency in Parkinson’s disease.

Congratulations Zoë Kiemel, SCSC Doctoral Candidate!

Zoë successfully defended her qualifying research project (QRP) entitled “Concurrent Use of Videofluoroscopic and Nutritional Intake Measures in the Assessment of Pediatric Patients With Dysphagia: A Scoping Review” and achieved doctoral candidacy!

Way to go, Zoë!

The SCSC is excited to welcome first year doctoral

The SCSC is excited to welcome first year doctoral student, Paige Wintermute, MS, CCC-SLP to our team!  Paige is a pediatric speech-language pathologist. She earned a B.A. in Communication Disorders from Geneva College in 2019 and M.S. in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2021. She has since served children with complex medical needs as an SLP in the acute care setting at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she also completed her clinical fellowship in speech-language pathology and the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities fellowship program. Paige is passionate about pediatric feeding and swallowing and the standardization of pediatric care, with specific interests in oncologic, traumatic, neurodevelopmental, and other neurological etiologies of dysphagia and communication needs.   Welcome Paige!! 💜
