Imagine struggling to breathe for decades, with no name for what you’re living through. That was the reality for Amber Harris, who lived 44 years before finally being diagnosed with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).
PCD is a rare, often misunderstood lung condition that can go undiagnosed for years, sometimes decades, leaving patients vulnerable to chronic infections and lung damage.
This story isn’t just personal, it’s a wake-up call for awareness, research and innovation.
At Vast Therapeutics, we’re developing solutions that go beyond managing symptoms. We’re committed to targeting the root causes of lung infections, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which disproportionately affects those with PCD, cystic fibrosis, and other rare lung conditions.
