Cystic Fibrosis

Developing Gene-therapy for CF.

The gene for cystic fibrosis was tracked down by combining information on genetic markers typed in thousands of families world-wide. Since 1989, we have been working to develop a safe and effective way to use gene-therapy to treat this otherwise life-shortening condition and are now in Phase 2 clinical studies http://www.cfgenetherapy.org.uk/.
