Funded Activity Summary

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetically acquired, life-shortening chronic illness affecting young Australians today. Individuals with CF have a reduced ability to clear mucous from the airways resulting in respiratory infections and inflammation. This project will quantify the biochemical and biophysical properties of mucous in young children with CF to generate novel insights into the pathogenesis of early disease, biomarkers of disease progression and therapeutic targets.
