A precision medicine strategy to decode, diagnose, and treat sepsis
This event builds on a Frontiers in Science lead article outlining new developments in omics and epigenetics, bioinformatics, and machine learning for precision medicine strategies in sepsis care. This includes methods for early detection, patient endotyping, and individualized, stage-specific therapies.
You’ll hear from the article authors and other experts on how collaborative efforts can drive innovation and inform pathogen-agnostic strategies for future pandemic preparedness.
