In our regular ‘Inside the lab’ researcher profile series we chat with some of the amazing researchers and scientists working in cystic fibrosis (CF). Today we caught up with Trust-funded PhD student Ellie based at the University of Cambridge.
Last week we joined the Prescription Charges Coalition in delivering an open letter asking the Minister for Primary Care and Public Health to freeze prescription charges for 2024 and 2025.
Today is Rare Disease Day – a day to shine a light on the challenges faced by those living with rare diseases like cystic fibrosis (CF). This year, we’re marking the day by focusing on an often-overlooked subset of the CF community – those with rarer mutations.
Advances in our understanding of cystic fibrosis mean that there are more effective treatments, so people with the condition are living longer than ever. However, the ageing process can bring its own challenges.
