North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2026

I am grateful for the opportunity to attend and present at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2026, held October 7 to 10. It was a privilege to share our research with the CF community and to be part of the conversations driving the field forward.

I had the opportunity to present two posters this year, and contribute as a co-author on a third:

CForwaRD: Comparison of Abnormalities Detected by Glucose Tolerance Test and Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Edeh C, Hodge D, Del Valle Rolon M, Wu M, Green D, Blackman S. [Poster 630]
DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2026.07.670

Genetic Modifiers of Glucose Metabolism in Cystic Fibrosis
Edeh C, Porter M, Hutson R, Blackman S. [Poster 629]
DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2026.07.669

Diabetes Distress Among Individuals with CF-Related Diabetes: A Pilot Study
Del Valle Rolon M, Edeh C, Wu M, Blackman S. [Poster 627]
DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2026.07.667

It was a meaningful experience to contribute to the growing body of research on CF-related diabetes, and I am thankful for the collaboration and mentorship that made this work possible. Here's to continued progress, and I hope for a cure.
