RESEARCH PROJECT

Below are listed all research projects funded by the Foundation from 2002 to today, divided by scientific area. The FFC Ricerca Scientific Committee selects them according to two fundamental goals: improving the available treatments to increase the quality of life of pwCF; finding a definitive cure for CF acting on the basic defect.
