Michele Wright, Ph.D. is the recipient of the Nations of Women Change Makers 2021 Global Leadership Award. She is the co-founder and board chair of the National Organization of African Americans with Cystic Fibrosis (NOAACF), a 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to engage, educate, and raise cystic fibrosis (CF) awareness in the African-American community in an effort to help bring valuable resources, knowledge, empowerment, and support to CF patients, families, healthcare professionals, and the community.
Dr. Wright also co-founded and co-chairs the annual BIOMERGD (Blacks, Indigenous, and Other Minority Ethnicities with Rare and Genetic Diseases) Conference and led the development of a Cystic Fibrosis screening tool to help individuals self-identify symptoms that could be related to CF and doctors potentially identify individuals with CF, including individuals who are black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC).
