Congratulations to Hara Levy, MD, MMSc, on her three-year, $375,000 grant from the Rosenau Family Research Foundation for the project “Enriching CF Newborn Screening Outcomes through a Precision Personalized Medicine Strategy.”! Levy’s team seeks to elucidate some of the molecular mechanisms that might explain why children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) early through newborn screening (NBS) have such wide variations in susceptibility to respiratory infections, long-term outcomes, and responses to treatment. Researchers expect their studies will help identify personalized therapeutic targets to limit CF lung disease progression caused by chronic airway infections.
