Nick will be running this year’s London Marathon as part of #TeamCF. We caught up with Nick and his sister, Philippa, who has cystic fibrosis, to hear about their childhood memories, their hopes for the future of CF, and why Nick was inspired to run for Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Dr Freddy Frost from University of Liverpool is leading a research programme to understand more about cardiovascular disease in people with CF as they get older.
Access to a specialist team of professionals is critical to the care, treatment and life expectancy of people with cystic fibrosis, a life limiting genetic condition without a cure. But like other parts of the NHS, CF services are facing issues with vacancies and recruitment.
The MHRA approved a new modulator, the Trust continues to fund vital research for cystic fibrosis, our Trustee completes a record-breaking challenge, and our amazing supporters get ready for the London Marathon.
Our Venture and Innovation Awards (VIAs) are matched funding grants that allow CF researchers to take advantage of new opportunities and exploit new methods in CF research. A VIA award to Prof Martin Welch, co-funded by University of Cambridge, is supporting Jemima Swain’s PhD studies. The aim of her research is to understand more about how different bugs that cause CF lung infections affect each other. We caught up with her to learn more.
Today, 7 April, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) have launched a new campaign to raise awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here we share details of the campaign, recent research we've been doing to help battle CF infections, and why we need funds to continue this work.
Last month, over 180 CF professionals gathered in Birmingham for our MDT (multidisciplinary team) conference, which explored hot topics and emerging issues in CF clinical care. Jacqueline Ali, Head of Information and Support at Cystic Fibrosis Trust, shares some of the key takeaways.
Since 2014, Cystic Fibrosis Trust has funded research in partnership with Action Medical Research. Together we have invested over £1.2million into seven research projects to drive change and help improve the quality of life of people with CF. Today we have announced details of the latest two projects in this partnership.
