Episode Details

Dr. Mike Welshs decades-long research on chloride movement in cells, sparked by a young cystic fibrosis patient, led to groundbreaking drugs that transformed the disease from a death sentence into a manageable condition. His discovery, uncovered in frog egg experiments, enabled the creation of life-changing medications like Orkambi, Symdeko, and Trikafta, benefiting 90% of U.S. patients. Welshs relentless pursuit continues for the remaining 10% and a full cure, offering hope and newfound freedom to those affected by cystic fibrosis.
