Technology Assisted Treatment for Binge Eating Disorder
This research is being done to study binge eating and potential treatment strategies. An app on a sensor logging device will log eating behavior data. The device will incorporate data and refine the performance of the HabitAware sensor logging model to recognize binge eating episodes. We hope this research will help inform novel treatments for targeting binge eating behavior.

Strength and Muscle Related Outcomes for Nutrition and Lung Function in CF (STRONG-CF)
There are currently two main ways of measuring nutrition in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) population: body mass index (BMI) and laboratory values. This study plans to look at more ways to measure nutrition, and body composition, like the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in your body. One of the ways we will measure these items is by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, which is a type of x-ray. This study hopes to provide researchers with more detailed information about nutrition and body composition in adults with CF.
