Meet Dr Richard Allen, whose research was funded by APF
Dr Allen’s research focuses on the genetics of pulmonary fibrosis. This project compares the DNA of individuals with IPF to identify the genes that cause more severe or milder symptoms. This research has improved treatment for patients with these genetic mutations with Dr Allen saying:
My work on the genetics of IPF will help guide the development of new treatments for this devastating disease.
Dr Allen’s research is just the start
We are set to fund new and innovative research that could help shape future treatments and one day, help put a STOP to pulmonary fibrosis. But we can’t do it alone. Your donation will ensure the research continues!
