Their specific focus is the pathophysiology of Cystic Fibrosis, including the structure\/function of CFTR and its many roles in the airway. They pioneered the use of peptide toxins as probes of chloride channels. They also have projects that study the functional consequences of heterodimerization among GPCRs, the role of CFTR in regulation of sweat composition, and the molecular ecology of predator-prey interactions in the marine environment. The lab\u0027s translational research in CF targets: (a) the mechanism by which the expression of mutant CFTR in airway epithelial cells impacts the development of CF-related diabetes; and (b) identification of biomarkers of acute pulmonary exacerbations in CF along with development of a novel device for their detection in the home.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe goal of the Center for Cystic Fibrosis Research is to engage Atlanta researchers in basic and translational research that will lead to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease and\/or generate new devices and treatments to increase the length and quality of life for CF patients. The novel theme for these research activities is \u0027The Systems Biology of the CF Lung\u0027.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Cystic Fibrosis-related Diabetes: Impact on the Systems Ecology of the CF Lung\u0022 - Nael McCarty, PhD - Emory University School of Medicine"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2014-04-08 10:29:15","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:22:45","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2014-07-08T13:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2014-07-08T14:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2014-07-08T14:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2014-07-08 17:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2014-07-08 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2014-07-08 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"70917":{"id":"70917","type":"image","title":"Breakfast Club Seminar Series","body":null,"created":"1449177328","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:15:28","changed":"1475894625","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:43:45","alt":"Breakfast Club Seminar Series","file":{"fid":"193471","name":"logobldg_graphic.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/logobldg_graphic_0.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/logobldg_graphic_0.png","mime":"image\/png","size":241588,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/logobldg_graphic_0.png?itok=x84xf3Mz"}}},"media_ids":["70917"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.pedsresearch.org\/research-faculty\/profile\/nael-a.-mccarty","title":"McCarty lab website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
