“Sepsis kills nearly 20% of all people on the planet. It’s 11M deaths every year, and it seems to be triggered especially by #COVID.” Read about our spin-off, @SepsetBio's work to battle #sepsis - a major global health issue exacerbated by COVID-19. https://t.co/BoTDsKOIhQ

#DYK more than 75,000 children develop severe #sepsis in the US each year. This works out to about 200 cases per day and the number is increasing by 8% every year. To learn more about the signs and symptoms of sepsis in children, visit https://t.co/C7JvPWLb05 #sepsisinchildren

#DYK #meningitis and skin or soft tissue infection are some of the most common sources of #sepsis? Take a look at this #Infographic by @WorldSepsisDay to learn more.

Sepsis is a potentially fatal condition. The point-of-care blood test we are developing will enable healthcare professionals to provide earlier and more targeted treatment of #sepsis to save lives. https://t.co/8WjCvTnQAH

[World Sepsis Day @WorldSepsisDay]

This week is #WorldAntibioticAwarenessWeek - the Global #Sepsis Alliance and the #WorldSepsisDay Movement are committed to stop the overuse and misuse of #antibiotics - fighting #sepsis and combating #AMR are not at odds with each other! 💊💉👇

Calling all former techs/summer students/collaborators - have you worked at or with the Hancock Lab? We have an event coming up this May in honour of Bob’s 70th 🥳🎂 that you may be interested in. PM for details!

[ActionOnSepsis @ActionOnSepsis]

Do you know anyone working on #sepsis in #Vancouver? Contact us about the possibility of joining our new @UBC research cluster. @UBCmedicine @ubcprez @BCWomensHosp

[Sepset Biosciences @SepsetBio]

Great article in @BioCentury featuring our founder Dr. Bob Hancock who details the science behind our unique gene expression test could speed up diagnosis of #sepsis and save lives. Subscription/login req'd: https://t.co/HcKbfZiUKf #biotech #science

Sepset is just one example of the potentially life-changing technologies you have been involved with. Thank you Olga! #Cdninnovation #cdnscience

[Olga Peña PhD.🔬🦠🇨🇦🇨🇴 @OlgaPena]

As an #International PhD Student at the time, I was very fortunate to receive a @CIHR_IRSC VANIER Scholarship.This allowed me to focus on my Sepsis research, which led to the creation of @SepsetBio.
I am today a proud 🇨🇦 Citizen & #NextGenCanScience
@JustinTrudeau @Bill_Morneau

[Olga Peña PhD.🔬🦠🇨🇦🇨🇴 @OlgaPena]

This funding support also gave me the financial freedom to do volunteer work and founding the Accessible Science Initiative @YoSoyCiencia, allowing me to improve my leadership, project management, and communication skills. #NextGenCanScience 2/2

[Sepset Biosciences @SepsetBio]

Current methods of #sepsis diagnosis can take over 24hrs and are not fully predictive. Our point-of-care blood test to identify sepsis will provide early and accurate data to help #physicians select the right treatment for right patients at the right time https://t.co/wILsjQsNu7

[World Sepsis Day @WorldSepsisDay]

84% of infection-related newborn deaths could be averted at a cost of just 9 cents for each life saved. Imagine, less than a dime — that’s the cost to make available basic preventive measures. Read full #editorial on #infection, #handwashing & #sepsis 💦👇

#DYK #sepsis is the #1 preventable cause of death in Canada. Our novel blood test to identify septic patients in the #ER and predict those with high risk for organ failure is currently undergoing a multi-country #clinicalstudy. Check https://t.co/AkWtpKYwqb to learn more.

[Sepset Biosciences @SepsetBio]

According to a #Taiwanese study published in @CMAJ, #patients with #sepsis are at increased risk of #stroke or #heartattack in the first 4 weeks after hospital discharge. Read the findings of the study here https://t.co/F7Jv2acJUL

Sepsis causes the hospitalization of more than 18 million people around the world every year, including 30,000 Canadians, with a staggering 30% mortality rate. Check this short video by @WorldSepsisDay to learn about #sepsis, how to identify and treat it. https://t.co/Z1oqsGgIUY
