Four posts were made to the CFFC Facebook page during the week of 1/11-17/2026.
01/13/2026 – We are all #TeamCF: Inside the lab with Dr Luke Allsopp – This article is another in a series by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust introducing individuals conducting CF research in the UK. Remember, discoveries in one country eventually benefit people living with CF around the world.
01/15/2026 – Dr. Sarah Wootton: Harnessing Gene Therapy to Stop Infections – When you hear “gene therapy,” you probably think of the efforts to correct the CFTR gene that causes CF. This article discusses how gene therapy is being design to protect the lungs from Pseudomonas aeruginosa; a major problem in CF lungs.
01/16/2026 – A trial that fails to reach its clinical endpoints isn’t necessarily a ‘failure’ – This blog is not about the scientific impact of research that doesn’t produce the expected/desired results; it’s about the trial participant’s emotional reaction.
01/17/2026 – “The doctors said that I wouldn’t live to the age of 30, so I wanted to do a challenge to celebrate reaching this milestone.” – Adam’s story – Recognizing milestones is one way we measure our progress through life. Many people living with CF mark age milestones, but the challenge described in this blog post is more than some would take on.
