Changing Lives Many at a Time: Research in the CF Center
We are a CF Foundation Therapeutic Development Network Center. We were involved in the clinical research for most of the medications drug pipeline for CF.
Publications
We initiate and collaborate with others to accomplish research projects that have changed our knowledge of CF and the way that CF Care is provided in Utah and around the world. Here is a sampling of interesting scientific papers involving patients with CF from our Center and the University of Utah over the last 30 years.
