Gene Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis is advancing and we hope to hear some positive results next month from the UK CF Gene Therapy Consortium at the NACF conference. Results will be about the multi-dose trial that is currently going on in the UK via a liposome-based delivery vector and will hopefully show that this gene therapy approach is improving overall lung function in people with CF.

Professor Eric Alton leads the consortium:
