An Evening with CF Scientists

This year we will be holding 'An Evening with CF Scientists' on Wednesday the 3rd of May in association with Cystic Fibrosis WA and the Telethon Kids Institute. All members of the public are welcome.

Along with drinks, canapes and the opportunity to connect with Perth's CF community the annual research update will include some interesting topics such as personalised medicine. We will hear from some of the leading AREST CF researchers and their latest research developments.

We were very pleased with the feedback we received from the event last year but hope for this year's to be even better. We hope to see you there!
