Determined to Defeat CF!

Hope

The Muco & Friends Foundation hopes that scientists will succeed in cutting out the faulty gene and replacing it with a healthy one.

Techniques

Muco & Friends also hopes that CRISPR-Cas and other promising techniques will eventually lead to a breakthrough in the treatment of CF, making the disease no longer life-threatening.
Muco & Friends also hopes that these therapies will be affordable when they become available.

Science

There is still a long way to go for scientists to figure out how to get new genes into the cell nuclei of individuals with CF.

Scientific research brings new insights and improved treatment, enhancing life expectancy. Scientific research is important but costly!
