Biography

Susan E. Langmore is an Emeritus Professor at Boston University in the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, specializing in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. She holds a PhD from Northwestern University and has dedicated her career to the fields of speech-language pathology and clinical research. Langmore's research primarily focuses on dysphagia, the medical term for swallowing difficulties, particularly in patients with neurological diseases and head and neck cancer. She pioneered the development of the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) procedure in the 1980s, significantly altering perceptions of managing aspiration pneumonia. Her expertise was further recognized through her leadership in multi-center NIH funded clinical trials that evaluated the efficacy of electrical stimulation in treating dysphagia in head and neck cancer patients. Langmore has received numerous accolades, including the ASHA Fellowship in 1998 and ASHA Honors in 2012, and is currently serving as president of the Dysphagia Research Society. In addition, she has served on NIH review committees and has been a reviewer and editor for various medical journals. Her ongoing research includes several grants aimed at improving clinical outcomes for dysphagic patients.
