Congratulations, Drs. Swathi Kiran and Archana Venkataraman!

Drs. Kiran and Venkataraman have received a $3.2 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to transform post-stroke aphasia treatment.

Kiran, a clinician-scientist specializing in neuroscience and language rehabilitation, and Venkataraman, a machine learning expert, are combining their complementary domain expertise to address this critical need. Their NIH project, titled ""Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Post-Stroke Aphasia and Language Recovery,"" aims to develop new tools that leverage deep neural networks to learn and identify brain-based biomarkers for language recovery. These tools will be used to predict personalized rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with post-stroke .

According to the Mayo Clinic, out of all individuals with neurogenic communication disorders, 4% have apraxia of speech. This is a neurological disorder due to difficulty with motor planning and programming; often the wrong sounds come out, and prosody (the up and down lilt of a voice) is often affected – people with apraxia of speech may sound fairly robotic.
