IMJ: A Discussion of Cystic Fibrosis from the Patient Perspective

SAGE Clinical Medicine & Research

In this month’s podcast, Journal of Investigative Medicine Social Media Editor John Dickinson, MD, PhD, University of Nebraska Medical Center, welcomes guest Nick Bell for a discussion of cystic fibrosis from the patient perspective. Nick has lived his entire life under the shadow of CF. However, thanks to new advances in CF treatment based on our understanding of the fundamental biology of the CF protein, Nick has been able to emerge from the shadow of CF. He is a successful business owner and community philanthropist who has used his talent with poetry and creative writing to enrich the lives of the less fortunate in the community. In this episode, we explore how science and medical research make lasting impacts on people’s lives.
