Cure4 Cystic Fibrosis (Cure4CF) and Cystic Fibrosis Trust have announced a new Global CF Research Integration Grant, designed to connect leading Australian and UK researchers and support collaborative projects addressing some of the most significant challenges facing people living with cystic fibrosis (CF).

In May 2014, Teresa and her husband Harry’s world changed overnight. Their first child, Simon, was 17 months old when he was finally diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF). Until that moment, they had never even heard of CF, a rare inherited genetic disease. They didn’t know they were carriers of the defective CF gene. They didn’t have a name for what they had been seeing, only the quiet, growing sense that something wasn’t right.
