Our group is interested in virus-specific CD4 T cells, which means we often use in vitro stimulations (like the AIM assay) to find our cells of interest. 🧵 1/9

Every year, >200K newborns die from sepsis.
Our team used machine learning to develop a set of genes that can predict neonatal sepsis risk using at birth blood samples.

Predictive gene expression signature diagnoses neonatal sepsis before clinical presentation
Despite appearing healthy at birth, neonates who later developed EOS already had distinct whole blood gene expression changes at birth, which enabled the development of a 4-gene predictive signature f...
