About ResearchCon 2022

ResearchCon is a free online event that makes cystic fibrosis (CF) science, research, and care accessible, engaging, and easy-to-understand for the CF community. Open to all with a personal and/or professional connection to CF (16 and older), this year’s ResearchCon will provide opportunities to connect with researchers, clinicians, and community members to learn the latest research and ask questions on topics that matter most to you. Whether you’re new to CF or you’re up to date on the latest science happenings, this year’s ResearchCon will have something for everyone. Join us and learn how you play a role in research.

ResearchCon 2022 would not be possible without volunteers from the CF community.
