Growing Stronger. Living Longer. People living with CF, families touched by the disease, and researchers looking for the answer come together at this year's Bay-area CFRI conference. Started by a small group of families in 1986, CFRI's Family Education Conference is a growing event that supports research and families across the nation.
The Power of New Possibilities.
A dazzling glass chandelier, hanging in the lobby of the Sofitel San Francisco Bay, welcomed conference attendees to this year's conference. Created and shaped by fire, and moving in all directions at once, the Dale Chihuly art piece is an apropos metaphor for the journey most CF research takes.
