Resources for Researchers

---

The Georgia CF Core Center grant focuses on non-pulmonary aspects of disease and how these impact pulmonary aspects of disease.

This grant includes three research Cores: 

• Diabetes, GI/Liver, and Nutrition Core 
• Lifestyles & Behavior Core 
• Clinical Research and Informatics Core

Interested? Check out our REDCap to request services provided by these cores.

The CF Discovery Core provides several services including:

• Collection and processing of samples from Emory CF adult and pediatric clinics and their associated hospitals
• Storage and banking of these samples
• Maintenance of a database of clinical information associated with each sample collected

 The CF Animal Models Core provides murine models relevant to cystic fibrosis researchers.  During its history, multiple models have been maintained and provided to researchers at a reasonable cost towards helping to address specific aspects of CF. 

 Currently the CF Animal Models Core has 3 murine strains available: 

1. CFTR knockout mouse 
2.  Delta 508/Cftrtm1Kth  
3. Beta-ENaC

Conducting a human-subject research study? The Research Oversight Committee will provide you with access to subject-matter clinical expertise while evaluating the scientific impact and feasibility of your study. 

 The Center for Cystic Fibrosis and Airways Disease Research (CF-AIR) is the home for two research programs, one focused on cystic fibrosis (CF), and one focused on asthma. Research in other airway diseases, such as COPD and non-CF bronchiectasis, also is of interest.
