CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF APHASIA RECOVERY
University of South Carolina professor Julius Fridriksson has been awarded an $11.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish the Center for the Study of Aphasia Recovery, which will research stroke recovery and work to improve the lives and communication skills of patients after they suffer strokes.
The university will partner with Johns Hopkins University, the University of California Irvine and the Medical University of South Carolina. Other researchers on the project include the Arnold School’s Dirk den Ouden, psychology’s Chris Rorden and Rutvik Desai and Souvik Sen in neurology.
