Point-of-Care Microfluidic Biochip for Biomarkers Monitoring for Contributing in Early Sepsis Diagnosis

Principal Investigator/Program Director (Last, first, middle): Bashir, Rashid Project Summary: Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection (Sepsis- 3 definition), is the leading cause of death and most expensive condition in hospitals. Annually, > 30 million people affected worldwide, with at least 1.7 million adults developing sepsis (nearly 270K die) at a cost of $24 billion per year in the U.S. Patients diagnosed with sepsis and no ongoing sign of organ failure have about a 15-30% chance of death.
