Research into a gene therapy cure for cystic fibrosis has been halted due to a public funding shortfall attributed to the economic downturn. The UK CF Gene Therapy Consortium have spent the last 10 years working on a treatment for the disease and were hoping to begin a trial later this summer yet despite being shortlisted for the a prestigous medical innovation award by the MFIA the team led by Prof' Eric Alton say the earliest we can expect the trials to now get underway will be next March at the earliest.
