Principal Interests
Dr. Stemple’s research focuses on voice disorders, specifically cell to society translational research. This includes identifying the biological differences in laryngeal muscles and limb skeletal muscles using a rat aging model; efficacy and outcome studies of voice therapy and voice enhancement programs for disordered, normal, and exceptional voices; and studying the epidemiology of voice disorders in the elderly.
Dr. Stemple is the author of the texts Voice Therapy: Clinical Studies (2nd ed) and Clinical Voice Pathology: Theory and Management (3rd ed) (Delmar- Thomson Learning, 2000) as well as research articles and text chapters related to clinical voice disorders. His current research involves a translational study of various aspects of the aging voice including epidemiology, treatment outcomes for voice disorders, and the biology of aging laryngeal muscles.
