An autoimmune disease called vitiligo causes patches of discolouration in various parts of the body because the immune system of the body targets its own cells or tissues.

The goal of World Vitiligo Day, which is celebrated annually on June 25th, is to increase efforts for vitiligo treatment and education while also bringing attention to the social stigma and mental health difficulties faced by vitiligo sufferers. It also aims to draw attention to the difficulties these individuals encounter and to raise money and awareness for vitiligo research. Today is a day to reflect on some of the incredible advancements that have been made over the previous ten years in the fight against this crippling illness. Additionally, the day provides vitiligo patients with a chance to showcase their talents.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
