Research summary
AI-generated

Stacey L. Halum studies disorders of the voice box (larynx) and airway, with a strong focus on repairing damaged or paralyzed vocal fold muscles. Much of the work involves tissue engineering and regenerative medicine—using muscle stem cells, collagen scaffolds, and reinnervation techniques to restore muscle function, often tested in animal models. Related clinical work addresses assessing voice disorders, airway stenosis (narrowing), and swallowing difficulties.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
