À propos de l'entourage d'Emily
Emily’s Entourage (EE) speeds lifesaving research and drug development for individuals in the final 10% of the cystic fibrosis (CF) community that do not benefit from currently available mutation-targeted therapies. Founded by Emily Kramer-Golinkoff with family and friends in 2011, EE has awarded millions of dollars in research grants, launched a CF gene therapy company that is now in a clinical trial, developed a patient database and clinical trial matchmaking program to accelerate clinical trial recruitment, and led worldwide efforts to drive high-impact research and drug development.
Si l'urgence de l'organisation est inspirée par le stade avancé de la maladie d'Emily, le travail de l'EE donne un élan aux avancées qui peuvent bénéficier non seulement aux personnes atteintes de FK, mais aussi à des millions de personnes vivant avec des maladies génétiques, ainsi qu'à celles qui luttent contre des infections résistantes aux antibiotiques pour lesquelles il n'existe pas de traitements existants.
