Sepsis Center of Research Excellence (SCORE)
SCORE seeks to improve adult and pediatric patient outcomes by focusing on the host response in sepsis and critical illness. SCORE investigators use translational research techniques to understand why the same pathogen causes a mild reaction in one person compared to a life-threatening response in another. The overall goal is to identify important elements in host cellular and molecular responses to develop novel and innovative approaches to prognostic and predictive clinical biomarkers and therapeutics in patients with life-threatening infections
