Investigating the effects of cystic fibrosis on the gastrointestinal tract and other organ systems.
Clinical and Translational Research Core
This study is looking at how cystic fibrosis impacts the digestive system and other parts of the body, and it's for people with cystic fibrosis who want to help improve treatments by sharing their health information and samples like stool and blood.

What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding how cystic fibrosis affects the gastrointestinal tract and other organ systems beyond the lungs. It supports scientists by providing access to clinical specimens from cystic fibrosis patients and healthy comparison groups. The research involves collecting various biological samples, such as stool and blood, and analyzing them alongside patient health data. This approach aims to enhance the understanding of cystic fibrosis and improve treatment strategies.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, particularly those experiencing gastrointestinal issues.
Not a fit: Patients without cystic fibrosis or those with unrelated gastrointestinal conditions may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved treatments and management strategies for patients with cystic fibrosis.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in understanding cystic fibrosis through similar translational approaches, indicating potential for impactful findings.
