Chief Executive Warrior

Ms. Barnes first became involved with the PF community after losing her father to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and subsequently losing four additional family members to the disease. She began her career in journalism and has used those skills as she navigated the worldwide PF community, seeking out-of-the-box solutions for treating pulmonary fibrosis. Teresa was a founder of the first IPF patient organization, the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2001. She has served on multiple boards, including the American Thoracic Society, where she spearheaded multiple advocacy efforts. A member of PF Warriors for five years, Teresa opens doors around the world.
