Doctors and Scientists Who Work with the CF Community Are Just Like Us
While in college, Tré LaRosa had opportunities to work alongside CF doctors and researchers and the experience taught him that they’re people “just like us.” Read more from Tré here.
Do you agree with Tré? What is your impression of doctors and researchers?

I have 2 kid with CF. I had the extreme privilege of meeting some of the top scientist at Vertex as well as top researchers in CF back in Oct 2018. They were amazing. I went to Harvard Medical School to witness the Warren Alpert award ceremony and symposium. The top 5 medical researchers for Cystic Fibrosis were being recognized as the world’s foremost scientists, physicians and researchers for their breakthroughs in bio-medicine. I met Francis Collins, Paul Negulescu, Bonnie Ramsey and Michael Welsh. (Lap-Chee Tsui was the 5th scientist, but he wasn’t able to make the ceremony.) They all thanked ME! I went there to thank them. We hugged and cried. They are real people with hearts and souls. It was a life changing experience for me. I definitely felt more committed to having the kids follow through with treatment and therapies after meeting the actual scientists that created them.
