This Strategic Research Centre (SRC) aims to bring together exercise specialists, parents and adolescents to prescribe physical activity more effectively.
Wear Yellow Day is happening tomorrow (17 June) – and we’re so grateful to everybody who is getting involved. However you choose to fundraise, all the money raised will help make a big difference to those living with CF in the UK. Here’s how…
Take a look at the answers to some of the questions posed on our online tool Slido during UKCFC 2019 that our presenters didn't have time to answer on the day.
A global study supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, as part of the Global Registry Harmonization Group, made up of CF specialists from around the world and including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has revealed that children with cystic fibrosis (CF) who do not have pre-existing severe lung damage experience mild or asymptomatic illness when infected with coronavirus (COVID-19).
A report published by the Trust today highlights the vital potential of gene editing for new treatments that tackle the cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) for everyone with the condition; and co-funding and collaboration could hold the key.
It is with much sadness that we acknowledge the loss of our dear friend and esteemed colleague Lynne Gumery O’Grady, who was a vital and much-loved member of the Trust’s clinical care team for many years. Lynne passed away surrounded by her family on 5 December 2020. We are grateful to some of Lynne’s friends and former colleagues who put together this tribute.
Our Strategy Implementation Board (SIB) are an integral part of how we decide what research to fund at the Trust. Members of the Board include cystic fibrosis (CF) clinicians, laboratory-based researchers and people from the CF community. SIB are meeting online today, to decide which Strategic Research Centre (SRC) proposals should be recommended for funding. We caught up with Board member Aoife, who has CF, to find out what they will be discussing in today’s meeting and why SIB is so important for CF research.
Another national lockdown is back with us, which can be challenging at times. For some people, having a goal to work towards can be really helpful. We spoke to Craig about how taking part in a virtual challenge got him through the first lockdown and why being part of Team CF is so special.
