Professor Bruce Murdoch is currently the Head of the School of
Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Queensland.
He is an internationally recognized authority on acquired speech
and language disorders of neurological origin. He has published
eight books and in excess of 170 articles in refereed international
journals in the area of motor speech and language disorders
associated with a variety of neurological conditions including
traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular accidents, Parkinson's
disease, brain tumors and mutliple sclerosis. The Motor Speech
Research Unit, at the University of Queensland, was established by
Professor Murdoch in the early 1990's and since that time, under
his direction, it has become internationally recognized as one of
the most productive and influential research centres of its type
world-wide. The research unit attracts numerous international
visitors each year and has been influential in establishing the
importance of physiologically based techniques in the assessment
and treatment of neurologically based communication deficits.
Professor Murdoch is in high demand as a guest speaker at
international conferences, having in the past three years presented
invited keynote addresses at international conferences in North
America, Scandinavia, South Africa, The Netherlands, Greece, the
United Kingdon, and South-East Asia. Dr. Theodoros is a Senior
Lecturer in Speech Pathology in the Department of Speech Pathology
and Audiology at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
She is a founding member of the Motor Speech Research Unit (MSRU)
in this deparment. Dr. Theodoros's major research interests include
the physiological assessment and treatment of motor speech
disorders in neurologically impaired adults and children with a
variety of conditions including traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's
Disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and muscular dystrophy. Her
research has also involved the investigation of the effects of
neurosurgical management of Parkinson's Disease on motor speech and
language functions.
Dr. Theodoros has published numerous scientific articles and book
chapters in the area of motor speech disorders and has recently
co-edited a book on Speech and Language Disorders in Multiple
Sclerosis.
