On 29 February, the rarest day in the year, we are marking the #RareDiseaseDay! Currently, it’s estimated that over 80,000 people in the world are living with Cystic Fibrosis, a severe single-gene disorder that affects the lung, digestive system, and other organs. While a cure for CF remains elusive, scientists and researchers have made remarkable progress in developing medications and other treatments to help ease symptoms, prevent complications and improve this quality of life for people with CF. In recognition of their groundbreaking contributions, we celebrate the achievements of two scientists, Dr Paul Negulescu and Professor Michael Welsh, who were awarded the 2022 Shaw Prize in Life Science and Medicine. Let’s stand together for awareness and support. Together, we can make a difference! #shawprize #theshawprize #shawlaureates #lifescienceandmedicine #cysticfibrosis
