The CFF Science team will be concentrating this week on advancing opportunities with companies developing new technologies for restoring CFTR function. We will need these new approaches to assure we eventually restore CFTR function for each and every person with CF! #TeamCF

Did you know that at the Senate press conference last week on the importance of protecting insurance for individuals with preexisting conditions, 5 of 47 senators featured stories of people with CF? Amazing! Mary Dwight and the CFF advocacy team are getting it done! #TeamCF

The CFF Science Team is headed to Alabama this week to meet with the SRI/UAB team on their CFF-sponsored program to develop new therapies for those with Nonsense ("X") Mutations. A tough nut to crack, but over 750,000 compounds screened to date and many more on the way! #TeamCF

A significant commitment by CFF to help support Arcturus develop inhaled RNA therapy. Still early, but this approach to therapy would benefit people with CF no matter what their mutations - something we absolutely need! #TeamCF globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

30 years ago this month CFF-funded researchers discovered the CFTR gene, making possible the amazing breakthroughs that will lead in the near future to effective therapy for over 90% of people with CF. #TeamCF cff.org/Get-Involved/A…

#MyCFHope (and goal) is that continued aggressive research will lead to effective therapy for EACH AND EVERY PERSON WITH CF! 100% #TeamCF

Happy 2020! Hoping everyone had a restful and re-energizing holiday break and is now ready to charge into the next steps toward curing CF!

Excited about all that has been accomplished in CF but now laser focused on what lies ahead! cff.org/fiveyearplan. #cffstrategicplan
