Funded Activity Summary

Sepsis or blood poisoning kills more people than breast cancer, prostate cancer and HIV/AIDS combined. It has a huge economic burden, yet there is no proper diagnostics markers or treatment. One of the main reasons for sepsis-mediated mortality is lack of functioning immune system patients. We have been able to elucidate the molecular mechanism of sepsis-mediated immune cell death and through this project, we aim to develop diagnostics and therapy for treating sepsis-mediated immune suppression.
