| | | | | Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. Early recognition of sepsis is necessary in order to initiate timely, life-saving treatment. With this in mind, Carmen Polito, MD, MSc, an Atlanta Clinical & Translational Science Institute (ACTSI) investigator, graduate of the ACTSI Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) program, and assistant professor of ... | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | The program provides funding for innovative science in both basic and clinical neuroscience. This funding mechanism is designed to support creative, exploratory, cutting-edge research in well-established research laboratories, under the direction of established investigators. The objective of the SIA is to support projects that may be too innovative and speculative for traditional funding sources but still have a high likelihood of producing important findings. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | Pathway seeks exceptional nominees from a broad range of disciplines, including medicine, biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics. The association encourages nomination of individuals from diverse backgrounds, including minorities that are underrepresented in research. For the purposes of this program, underrepresented minorities are defined as individuals of African American, Hispanic or Latino, American Indian or Alaskan-native, and native-Hawaiian or other Pacific-Islander descent. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | Emory is collecting blood from healthy adults for basic science studies. Scientists working in the Emory Children's Center will use it to study how the immune system works, how infections develop, and how vaccines and medicines can prevent and treat illnesses. This is a blood draw study only; no drugs will be given, and you will not be exposed to infectious diseases. Each visit will take about 15 minutes and will occur in the Emory Children's Center. You can participate a single time, or more often if you would like. Participants will be reimbursed $25 per visit. | | | | Contact | | |
