The ATS 2015 President Symposium: "How to Cure a Disease: The Cystic Fibrosis Story"

Whether cystic fibrosis is your primary research or clinical focus or you have dedicated yourself to other respiratory diseases, this symposium will describe how our research into CF may serve as a roadmap and how partnerships between patient organizations, clinicians, scientists, and industry can be transformative.
