Venkataraman Wins $3.2M NIH R01 Award
Professor Archana Venkataraman won a $3.2M NIH R01 grant in collaboration with Professor Swathi Kiran in the Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences entitled “Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Post-Stroke Aphasia and Language Recovery”. This project aims to identify appropriate treatments and provide personalized course-of-recovery predictions for individuals with aphasia (impaired speech after a stroke). Its focus is on developing novel computational models to assist in better understanding the heterogeneous causes and contributing factors behind aphasia, as well as how the condition responds to varied clinical interventions and environmental influences across its diverse presentations and circumstances, using multimodal datasets which include neuroimaging and demographic data.
