The CFTR Folding Consortium is composed of a group of investigators dedicated to developing   and distributing reagents and methods to facilitate a practical understanding of  1) why disease-associated CFTR mutants misfold and 2) how to correct these defects.  These methods and reagents are made available to researchers focused on these two goals.  Investigators who utilize these resources are required to provide feedback on their utility and are asked to make available any new, improved reagents or methods they developed from them.  This work is funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
