The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation can help you engage people with cystic fibrosis so that you can incorporate their voices into the decision-making process throughout the development lifecycle of your
The Carolyn and C. Richard Mattingly Leadership in Mental Health Care Award honors those who are committed to the mental health of people with cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis biological samples are available to qualified researchers to help develop promising new studies that will support CF research and aid in drug development and drug discovery.
The goal of the CFTR Chemical Compound program is to enable cystic fibrosis research scientists to test known cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulating compounds in different functional assays.
Every person has two copies of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. A person must inherit two copies of the CFTR gene that contain mutations — one copy from each parent — to have cystic fibrosis.
In an international research project, scientists are examining cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations to determine which ones cause CF and to provide additional information associated with these mutations. Their findings are available in an online searchable database.
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.
Carrier (or genetic) testing not only plays a key role in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, but testing also allows parents to find out what their chances are of having a child with CF to help inform important family planning decisions.
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.
