Cystic Fibrosis, a key research focus at the Centre for Living Technology, was discussed in Episode 3 of Het Kinderziekenhuis, a Dutch television program that provides an intimate look into the lives of children receiving medical treatment across the Netherlands. This episode features Veerle, a young girl with cystic fibrosis, highlighting the daily challenges of living with this chronic illness.

Recently, researchers Jeffrey Beekman and Francesca from the Centre for Living Technology have received support from the National Growth Fund to develop innovative technologies that reduce the need for laboratory animals and accelerate the discovery of potential drugs. Their groundbreaking work using organoids and AI holds great promise for advancing cystic fibrosis treatments tailored to individual patients.
