Aerodigestive Innovations Research Lab - AIR Advancing voice, cough, and swallowing science and clinical care

The Aerodigestive Innovations Research Lab (AIR) is a clinical and translational sciences research lab located within the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. Our mission is to improve the health and quality of life of people and caregivers with voice, cough, and swallowing disorders through clinical innovation, scientific discovery, multidisciplinary collaborations, and educational outreach. Our research aims to: (1) identify sensorimotor mechanisms of voice, cough, and swallowing function in healthy adults and in people with a diverse range of medical conditions; and (2) to develop robust and impactful methods to evaluate and treat voice, cough, and swallowing disorders. If you are a patient, caregiver, adult in the New York City and tri-state area interested in learning more about free and/or paid research opportunities at AIR, please fill out our contact form by going to: https://forms.office.com/r/bTRedbTYDE

If you are an industry partner interested in collaborating with our team, an organization seeking our services, or if you are a student interested in volunteering as a research assistant or speech-language pathology graduate intern, please reach out to us via email at: curtisairlab@med.cornell.edu
