Drs. Angela Barber and Rajesh Kana selected as alabama life research institute fellows

Dr. Angela Barber (Communicative Disorders) and Dr. Rajesh Kana (Psychology) are among the inaugural group of research fellows addressing rural and underserved communities through the Alabama Life Research Institute (ALRI). The ALRI serves as a focal point for interdisciplinary bio-psychosocial research that seeks to investigate the human condition at all levels, from the molecular to the environmental, collaborating across the University, as well as with peer institutions, health care corporations, governmental agencies, community-based organizations and other concerned individuals.
​
“A major criterion of naming the first cohort of ALRI Fellows is their extensive experience and desire to collaborate with faculty, staff and students from around campus to address one of the initial major research foci of ALRI – that is, to identify, understand and solve problems related to rural and underserved communities,” said Dr. Sharlene Newman, ALRI executive director.
