The Trust's Director of Data and Quality Improvement Rebecca Cosgriff explains the findings of a paper, published this week in the journal Thorax, comparing global data of cystic fibrosis (CF) populations in the UK and the US.
We spoke to Professor Daniel Peckham, Director of the Adult CF Centre in Leeds, to find out more about the topic of cancer and CF, and work that is underway to further our knowledge in this important area.
An international, multidisciplinary team of researchers led by Professor Stephen Renshaw at Sheffield University, will be investigating a possible role for the cystic fibrosis (CF) protein, CFTR, in causing CF-related bowel cancer.

Today we have published the our first Research Impact Report. In this blog Dr Lucy Allen, the Trust’s Director of Research, explains how this report was developed, an overview of what it covers and how funding from the Trust has made, and will continue to make, an impact for people living with cystic fibrosis.
In the latest edition of CF Life, we shared Polly's story – the first baby in the world to be diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) through an established newborn screening programme. She was born at Ipswich Hospital in part of the East Anglian region, which was the first region to set up a newborn screening service for CF, a model that was later adopted across the rest of the UK. We spoke to the pioneers behind the programme, and looked at how their work has impacted people with CF and changed the way support is provided to families.
