Queensland’s first cystic fibrosis research program has been established to help improve outcomes for patients living with the life-threatening genetic disorder.
The Queensland Cystic Fibrosis Program was announced yesterday with a total of $15 million in funding from The University of Queensland and several other donors.
Professor Peter Sly said, “the Queensland Cystic Fibrosis Research Program will improve outcomes for patients with CF in Queensland and elsewhere.”
The research will be carried out together with Children’s Health Queensland Hospital, the Metro North Hospital and The Prince Charles Hospital.
