International visiting scholar to present research

Huckabee uses the latest technologies such as endoscopy, MRI, EEG and manometry to study the biomechanics of swallowing and the neural processes underlying coordinated respiration and laryngeal movement in both children and adults. She is recognized internationally for her books and articles in peer-reviewed journals.
