Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Sarath Ranganathan (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Stephanie Davis ,  Prof Graham Hall ,  Prof Stephen Stick ,  Prof Thomas Ferkol

Brief description This study will investigate how lung disease starts in babies with cystic fibrosis and the role of viral infections in this process. The new knowledge gained will help us move towards treatments that prevent or delay the start of lung disease, something not currently possible. We believe this new treatment paradigm will lead to improved quality and extent of life of those with cystic fibrosis.
