We are committed to delivering the highest quality, most compassionate, specialty care available in the nation. Our first priorities are the health and well-being of our patients and support for their families.
Our research team is comprised of some of the best and brightest individuals in their fields. Putting great importance on collaborative and quality care allows us to ensure that the best outcomes are made available and remain a priority.
Our Cystic Fibrosis Research team at Emory and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is very excited and proud to be able to offer cutting edge clinical research for our patients and their families. While we are consistently recognized nationally for our role in clinical research, these trials are very important in the discovery of new treatment options and the progression of CF treatments.
A strategic partnership with Georgia CTSA has helped us with our continued efforts to remain an active and viable player within the industry. The institutions of the Georgia Clinical & Translational Science Alliance leverage their complementary strengths to accelerate clinical & translational education, research, & community engagement to impact health.
