Ambrose, Nicoline G.
Associate Professor, Department of Speech and Hearing Science, College of Applied Health Sciences
Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Research Areas
Dr. Ambrose’s research focuses on onset and development of early childhood stuttering as well as subtypes of stuttering, and genetic aspects of speech and language disorders. Current projects include identification of subtypes of stuttering, combining epidemiologic, motoric, linguistic, and psychosocial factors, brain imaging of children and adults who stutter, and genetic linkage analyses of stuttering.
