Who are we
The Consortium groups are based in three of the leading UK universities. Prior to the formation of the Consortium each group had conducted at least one clinical trial for gene therapy. Therefore, our researchers have been at the forefront of this field for over 20 years.
Consortium Timeline
The Consortium was formed in 2001 on the initiative of the then CF Trust Chief Executive Rosie Barnes. This timeline highlights some of our major achievements during this time including our two clinical trials.
Profiles of the Consortium Strategy Group
As with any large organisation our biggest asset is our people and their skills, experience and expertise. Prior to the formation of the Consortium, each of the three sites had conducted at least one clinical trial for CF gene therapy. Today the Consortium is managed by our strategy group with representatives bringing together the required clinical, regulatory and scientific skills required to ensure that we meet our goals whilst still achieving optimal results.

All Trials Registered Initiative
The Consortium has signed the All Trials Petition an iniative aimed at encouraging the results of all clinical trials to be made public. The Campaign calls for action from governments, regulators and research bodies to implement measures to ensure trials past and present should be registered, and the full methods and the results reported.
