Tomorrow's Leaders is a community of young professionals who come together to make a difference for those living with cystic fibrosis while growing their network, making personal connections, and developing professional skills.
A virtual program for current and recent college students who want to continue building new leadership, advocacy, and fundraising skills to make a difference on their campuses and beyond.
Quarterly visits to a CF Foundation-accredited care center are the foundation of your treatment plan. By partnering with your care team, you can also adjust your treatment plan as new therapies become available, or your needs change over time.
Daily CF treatments take time, patience and persistence. But the benefits of managing your treatment plan outweigh the drawbacks so that you can achieve more of your personal goals.
For many, attending college is one of life's important milestones, and a big step towards building the future you want. Having cystic fibrosis doesn't mean you can't pursue your academic goals and dreams, but a new environment can present new obstacles and challenges.
mRNA therapy is one way to deliver the correct genetic instructions to cells, which would allow them to make functional CFTR protein regardless of an individual’s CF mutations.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene responsible for producing the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. For this reason, scientists are exploring ways to provide a correct copy of the gene to treat CF.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in both copies of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Scientists are examining whether it is possible to correct the mutations through a process called gene editing.
