Stuart Elborn
President, ECFS

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 9th European Cystic Fibrosis Conference entirely dedicated to Basic Science which, this year, takes place in Sainte-Maxime, France. This year we are delighted to welcome Prof. Luis Galietta as the conference Chairperson who will be supported by Prof. Aleksander Edelman and Prof. John Hanrahan as co-chairpersons.

Basic scientific discovery is critical to our understanding of CF, and already we can see new therapies coming through from the hard work of this endeavour. The ECFS is committed to providing 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. It is a high priority for us to support the work of scientists in CF and we are proud that this conference is now established as a key annual event of the ECFS. Your active participation will contribute to a productive exchange of information and I hope productive collaborations.

I extend a very warm welcome to an exciting conference.
