In an NEJM editorial, Dr. Collins recounts the journey from discovery to targeted therapy for cystic fibrosis

He recounts the 30 year journey from that discovery to the development of a targeted, triple-combination therapy that holds promise for 90% of cystic fibrosis patients. N Engl J Med. Online: October 31, 2019.
