We interviewed him because of his expertise in the effects of diagnosis on the patient and the family members, but also on daily life. Additionally, we want to close the gap and create a bridge between academic research and clinical applications.

Through our connection with <a href="https://www.cfvww.org" >CF Vests Worldwide</a>, an organization dedicated to providing life-saving therapy vests to Cystic Fibrosis patients globally, we gained insights into the challenges faced by CF patients, particularly in regions like Thailand, where access to advanced treatments and medical devices is limited. The conversation highlighted the critical role of early diagnosis and intervention, as well as the quality-of-life challenges many patients endure due to conventional treatments that may not be effective for everyone. Innovative approaches, such as our SORT LNP (lipid nanoparticle) delivery system, present promising alternatives for CF therapy. This system, which allows for RNA encapsulation and administration via dry spray inhalation, could revolutionize treatment by targeting lung cells more effectively, particularly in resource-limited settings. Dr. Olariu underscored the need for psychological support and coordinated care for CF patients, emphasizing that novel therapies like LNP-based gene treatments have the potential to improve treatment efficacy and accessibility, ultimately reducing the lifelong burden of care for patients and their families. </p>, + <div className="col"><p>We invited Max, our CF patient contact, to join Dr. Olariu in discussing the intersection of academic research, clinical application, and patient needs.

Especially when there are cases in which patients only show a clear clinical picture at an advanced age. The psychological burden also lies with the children, who often experience medical trauma because they are involved in such intensive medical care from birth. Additionally, the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis is very expensive, and the costs are covered by health insurance companies to varying degrees. In some countries, such as the USA, Ukraine or Developing countries, many families cannot afford the necessary treatments. But Dr. Olariu also drew our attention to another problem in the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis. Infections, especially with bacteria such as Pseudomonas spcc., are difficult to treat and often lead to long hospital stays. Max, our patients’ representative, who knows Dr. Olariu through his treatment, shared his experience with Pseudomonas spcc infections, illustrating the reality of an invisible danger that determines a patient's everyday life. Strict hygiene measures are required to prevent infections, such as wearing face masks in hospital and careful handling of potential sources of infection. The clinics where Cystic Fibrosis patients are treated work closely with a multidisciplinary team of doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists and nutritionists to ensure that patients receive holistic care. </p>, </div> </div>], -- GitLab
