We rely on the generosity of our supporters to fund our sepsis research and awareness campaigns.
Very important news – published in the journal Nature in early May – that the GenOMICC team at the University of Edinburgh has now identified 49 genes of relevance to the understanding and treatment of critical illness including sepsis. The paper – described by study lead Professor Kenneth Baillie as ‘our best yet’ – indicates […]
Sepsis Research FEAT is delighted to report publication this month of research by Dr Meghan Bateson and her team. Their paper ‘Research into performance of bedside tools for predicting infection-related mortality and administrative data for sepsis surveillance’ looks at diagnostic coding for sepsis as a predictor of mortality and how variations in coding can affect […]
Sepsis Research FEAT is delighted to have been able to support two new summer internships in Professor Kenneth Baillie’s team at the Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh. Nureen Hanisah Mohamad Zaki is an international student from Malaysia, currently completing an MSc in Bioinformatics at the University of Edinburgh who will be writing a dissertation on […]
Sepsis Research FEAT is delighted to announce an extension to its investment in the world leading GenOMICC project at the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute. Sepsis Research FEAT will financially support GenOMICC to expand and accelerate recruitment to a pilot study, GenOMICC Acute, in which additional blood samples will be obtained from patients shortly after […]
Genetic Study Sepsis Research FEAT is delighted to report the latest groundbreaking findings from the research study that the charity supports. Researchers from GenOMICC – a global collaboration to study genetics in critical illness – led by the University of Edinburgh in partnership with Genomics England, made these discoveries by sequencing the genomes of 7,491 […]
Sepsis Research FEAT is delighted to have started supporting a new research study at the University of Edinburgh – one with real relevance to the phenomenon known as ‘brain fog’ experienced by many sepsis survivors. Dr. Zoeb Jiwaji is an intensive care doctor working at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and a clinical lecturer at the […]
Dr Kenneth Baillie Sepsis Research FEAT was delighted to hear yesterday that Dr. Kenneth Baillie has been appointed Professor of Experimental Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. This is tremendous news and well-deserved recognition of the enormous contribution made by Dr. Baillie to the field of Intensive Care Medicine in general and to the worldwide […]
Roslin Institute research team As a charity, Sepsis Research FEAT is currently funding the GenOMICC study, led by Dr. Kenneth Baillie, at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh. It is the largest study of its kind anywhere in the world. This pioneering research study focuses on the role genes play in predicting how likely people are […]
Genes linked An international group of scientists has discovered 13 DNA sequences that are associated with people developing the most severe form of Genes linked to severe COVID-19. These latest hugely important findings – recently published in the journal Nature – come from the COVID-19 Host Genomics Initiative, of which researchers from the GenOMICC study […]
