With research there is hope for all

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is cutting thousands of lives short each year in the UK. Our research is desperately needed, as PF is on the rise year on year.

Research is urgently needed to

  • help find new treatments or ways of managing PF
  • accelerate change to enable our community to live well for longer

With your help, we fund scientists whose findings are truly ground-breaking and promise hope for those living with this devastating disease.

Meet Dr Richard Allen, whose research was funded by APF

Dr Allen’s research focuses on the genetics of pulmonary fibrosis. This project compares the DNA of individuals with IPF to identify the genes that cause more severe or milder symptoms. This research has improved treatment for patients with these genetic mutations with Dr Allen saying:

My work on the genetics of IPF will help guide the development of new treatments for this devastating disease.

Dr Allen’s research is just the start

We are set to fund new and innovative research that could help shape future treatments and one day, help put a STOP to pulmonary fibrosis. But we can’t do it alone. Your donation will ensure the research continues!
