Funded Activity Summary

Our goal is to evaluate if lung function can identify the onset of early lung disease in infants with cystic fibrosis (CF). We aim to evaluate: - Changes in lung function in infants with CF. - Associations between lung function and lung inflammation and infection. - Links between infant lung function and disease severity at 2 years of age. The long term aims are to determine how useful lung function will be in trials of novel treatments for the early treatment of CF.
