The Cystic Fibrosis Lung Transplant Consortium Biorepository and Patient Registry, in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, will provide critical clinical data and samples to support future research investigating complications of lung transplant.
Today, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced that it has awarded up to $400,000 to Life Edit Therapeutics Inc. to explore the application of their unique gene editing technology in CF.
New funding will support clinical development of two novel therapies to address complications of cystic fibrosis
The studies aim to improve early detection of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), the leading cause of lung transplant failures.
The Foundation and Bakar Labs will support AVECRIS Pte Ltd and Nosis Biological Sciences as they pursue genetic therapies for cystic fibrosis with their novel technologies.
