Harnessing Regenerative Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease

Queen’s University Belfast

School of Pharmacy

Research Group: Nanomedicine and biotherapeutics

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic airways disease caused by mutations in a cAMP-dependent chloride channel called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). In the lungs, defective ion channel activity and mucus obstruction results in chronic cycles of infection and inflammation, with tissue damage leading to progressive lung function decline and premature death.
