How Clinical Research Transformed My Son's Life And My Career

Anne’s journey as a mother of a child with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of resilience, advocacy, and hope. When her newborn son, Wyatt, was diagnosed with CF through genetic screening, her family was thrust into an unfamiliar world of complex treatments and an urgent need for answers. Initial shock and grief quickly gave way to action as Anne and her family committed to learning everything they could about the disease, becoming fierce advocates for Wyatt’s health and the CF community.

Medical advancements and clinical research became their lifeline. Early intervention with pancreatic enzymes and groundbreaking CF modulators dramatically improved Wyatt’s health, offering a glimpse of a future that once seemed uncertain. Witnessing the transformative power of clinical research firsthand, Anne found a new purpose when she joined Scout Clinical—a company dedicated to breaking down barriers in clinical trial participation. Now, she works alongside sponsors and CROs to make trials more accessible, ensuring that more families like hers can benefit from life-changing treatments.
