CTSI TSS Webinar: “It is what we don’t know that gets us into trouble: improving diagnostics for neonatal sepsis”
September 25, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
TSS Series “It is what we don’t know that gets us into trouble: improving diagnostics for neonatal sepsis”
Sept. 25, 12-1 p.m.
In this session, Jessica Ericson, MD, MPH, will discuss how molecular methods can overcome many of the challenges of pathogen identification in neonates with suspected infection, allowing infants to receive the right treatment for the right amount of time. RNA sequencing may improve pathogen identification, reducing unnecessary antibiotic use and improving outcomes for infants with signs of infection.
The Translational Science Seminar (TSS) Series is held monthly. Each month, a panel of speakers present practical information related to clinical and translational topics, with the goal to expose participants to contemporary issues and tools that can accelerate the translation of research to benefit human health.
