BYU Poli Sci Professor Publishes Medical Journal Article about Possible Cystic
Fibrosis Treatment
Her two sons suffer from the disease; next step, clinical trials

biology from scratch. Although she didnt plan to, along the way she came up with a new
understanding of the way cystic fibrosis attacks the lungs and digestive tract, which pointed to a novel
therapy. If funding can be acquired and subsequent clinical trials bear out her hypothesis, it could
mean immediate alleviation of many of the diseases symptoms at a fraction of the cost of current
treatments.

nobodys going to make a fortune, said Hudson.So most researchers want nothing to do with the
ideas of the person they view as the wacky political science woman out in Utah.

weeks issue of Free Radical Biology and Medicine, and, without
