Target The Cure

We are driven by a dream that one day—every person with cystic fibrosis will have the chance to live a long, healthy life. Recognized globally, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has led the way in the fight against cystic fibrosis, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Winning this fight means working harder and faster. Genetic therapies – our best hope for curing cystic fibrosis – are more complex than anything we have ever done. Progressing a genetic therapy could cost the Foundation 10 times more than the development of a novel therapy a decade ago.
The Foundation is leading the way in applying this emerging science to CF. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis and a life free from the burden of this disease, and we invite you to join us in our mission.
