We've planted the flag of expertise.

In funding more than $200 million in CF research since 1960, we’ve had a hand in nearly every major CF discovery. It was Canadian researchers who: 

Discovered the gene responsible for CF, opening the door to targeting the cause of the disease rather than its symptoms. 

Developed and demonstrated the clinical benefits of the revolutionary high-fat diet adopted globally to improve nutrition. 

Purified the CFTR protein, improving understanding of its structure and function, and leading to development of KALYDECO™. 

Developed the “Toronto Protocol” that has now been broadly adopted to repair donor lungs and improve transplant outcomes. 

Identified a novel approach to treating bacterial infections that was adopted as a best practice in clinical care.

How your contributions are making a difference

MOMENTUM IN ACTION

Canadians with CF are living significantly longer than they were in the 1970s when the median age of survival was 25. 

 

Now it’s more than double that. 

 

Let’s go even further to reduce the treatment burden, improve quality of life and ensure no one with CF gets left behind.
