Excited to announce the launch of @crit_pressure with support of a £10m investment from @medicxi. Tackling septic shock with novel vasopressor therapies.
.@UofGlasgow, Professor James Leiper's research focuses on identifying new drugs to prevent the precipitous fall of blood pressure in septic shock. Through @crit_pressure, new candidate drugs have been identified & hopeful clinical trials will commence in future. #WorldSepsisDay
Congrats to our client Professor James Leiper and @crit_pressure on their $10 million Series A round from @medicxi for the development of a new drug to help patients in intensive care with severe sepsis. https://t.co/SqYlW97QvD #lifescience#medtech#investment

I do think that we need to work stronger towards more research to understand the immunopathology of sepsis, the rapid development of microbe ID, and the possibility of using precision medicine approaches to manage and treat #Sepsis#Thread (3)
Thus, clinicians need to stop working in silos and collaborate more with basic science researchers and patients so these goals can be achieved. There are still many unanswered biological and clinical questions in #Sepsis, so lots of research needs to be done! #Thread (4)
Moreover, obtaining government funding for sepsis research is difficult. Therefore, having funding competitions organized by existent and newly created sepsis organizations to do #sepsis research would be really useful. #Thread (5)
Finally, creating competitions to train the next generation of sepsis scientists and clinicians experts in #Sepsis is also highly needed, as currently there "almost" non-existent. #Thread (end)
Please spread the word about BHF-funded 4-year PhD studentships in Cambridge - application DL is 7 December: https://t.co/ACYtwQ7v2P https://t.co/2BiRPQDig9
The @TheBHF Translation award was incredibly valuable in bridging the gap between strong basic science and a model that appealed to commercial funders https://t.co/3xtgt1JdFd
The harmful effects of catecholamines are probably extensive, and the development of novel vasoactive agents will alllow greater insights into the impacts of adrenergic drugs on both vascular and immune cell responses. https://t.co/W7HfIB1jyx
I would wager we're going to see a lot more data coming out about how bad catecholamines are for endothelia, the blood-brain barrier, and for brains... https://t.co/PI14RSIz5j
