Mission & Vision
"Helping through action!" is the guiding principle of the Christiane Herzog Foundation. Its goal is to give those affected and their families hope, strength, and practical support in the fight against cystic fibrosis, to grant more time to live, and to advance interdisciplinary, cross-generational care as well as research – always in the spirit of its namesake.
Target groups
The funding is aimed at people of all ages with cystic fibrosis and their families, specialized healthcare providers (physicians, physiotherapists, psychologists, dietitians), as well as early-career researchers in basic and clinical cystic fibrosis research. The goal is to strengthen medical care in specialized centers and to support innovative research projects.
