Description:
Date/Time: September 26, 2024 | 1:45 - 2:00 pm ET
This sponsored session will present the unmet needs in assessing patients for acute infection and sepsis and the promise of host response as a better approach to address these needs. The presenter will discuss an FDA breakthrough designation and how the TriVerity™ Acute Infection and Sepsis test (Inflammatix, Inc.) may be used in routine care once cleared. The TriVerity Test is in development, is not for sale, and does not have marketing approval or clearance from regulatory authorities in any jurisdiction.

Tim Sweeney, MD, PhD
Co-Founder and CEO
Inflammatix
Tim Sweeney helped invent the core Inflammatix technology and is a licensed physician and data scientist. He completed his MD/PhD at Duke University, then spent time training in the general surgery residency program at Stanford University. While training as a surgeon, he became frustrated with the current diagnostic tools for infection. During his residency research years, he completed a postdoc MS in Biomedical Informatics, during which he worked with Purvesh Khatri, PhD (Co-Founder of Inflammatix) to identify a new way to diagnose infections based on “reading” the immune system. Their work designing custom informatics algorithms for sifting through heterogeneous large datasets led to the core technology on which Inflammatix is based.
