European Cystic Fibrosis Society

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to the seventh European Cystic Fibrosis Conference entirely dedicated to Basic Science which in 2010 takes place in Carcavelos, Portugal. This year we are delighted to welcome Prof. J.P. Clancy, Prof. Harry Cuppens, and Dr. Mike Gray as the conference Chairpersons.

Basic scientific discovery is critical to our understanding of CF  and will contiue to underpin  the development of new therapies. The success in translational research in the past 2 years with three completely novel, potentially disease modifying therapies entering clinical trials  is a real testimony to the huge  efforts of  the CF scientific community.  The ECFS is proud to provide you with a platform to discuss your ideas with your colleagues during this important conference which will comprise a series of symposia with invited European and International guest speakers. Your active participation will contribute to a productive exchange of information.

I extend to you a very warm welcome to this  exciting conference.

The ECFS would like to thank the following for their sponsorship and support:
