This week we welcomed Hull Adult CF Centre to the CF-Tracker study! We have another 11 sites still in process, and plan to have many of these open before the end of the year!
You can follow progress on the @cysticfibrosis.org.uk Trials Tracker:

Over the next 5 years, our Translational Innovation Hub Network will address challenges around finding new lung infection treatment options, detecting and treating flare-ups, and developing new ways to diagnose infections.

In the meantime, great to see this Asthma+Lung event in Manchester, come and support!
