Future research focus areas in kids’ lung healthYou play a vital role in determining Wal-yan’s research priorities in kids’ lung health over the next 10 years.

We tested the hypothesis that treatment of CF epithelial cells with ivacaftor (Iva) or ivacaftor/lumacaftor (Iva/Lum) would improve control of rhinovirus infection.

This study aimed to explore the links between infection and where early damage due to CF is found in young children with CF. The results showed that
