College life can be stressful when you need to fit in time for classes, treatments, and a part-time job. Now in my second year of law school, I have developed a system that can help you stay organized and balanced.
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.
