PULSE-CF Research Innovation Hub
@pulse-cf.bsky.social
Research programme funded by the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Trust and LifeArc and hosted by University of Manchester. We are doctors and scientists looking to better understand CF exacerbations and improve the lives of people with CF.

CF-Tracker is in the Manchester Evening News. Important for pwCF to take care as we enter the winter flu surge!

This week we welcomed Hull Adult CF Centre to the CF-Tracker study! We have another 11 sites still in process, and plan to have many of these open before the end of the year!
You can follow progress on the @cysticfibrosis.org.uk Trials Tracker:

We think pollution might be an important reason why some people with CF become unwell, thats why we're looking into this as a cause of exacerbations in our CF-Tracker study.
In the meantime, great to see this Asthma+Lung event in Manchester, come and support!
