Pathways Balancing Basal Mucin and CFTR-Mediated Fluid Secretion in the Human Distal Airway - Kenichi Okuda, MD, PhD (Video)

Dr. Kenichi Okuda, a Research Associate at Marsico Lung Institute at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, presents results from CFRI-funded research on pathways maintaining basal mucin and CFTR-mediated fluid secretion in the human distal airway. He argues that airway cells are a therapeutic target for molecular therapy for CFTR function restoration. This presentation was part of CFRI's 36th National CF Education Conference.

CFRI's 36th National CF Education Conference was sponsored by Viatris, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Gilead Sciences, Chiesi USA, AbbVie, Genentech, and the Boomer Esiason Foundation.
