Understanding Sepsis: From History to Molecular Triggers

On September 29, 2025, Prof. Jean-Marc Cavaillon Honorary Professor at Institut Pasteur and co-founder of LPS-BioSciences, will give a talk titled:
« Once upon a time: Sepsis, from Lucrezia Borgia to Louis Pasteur » as part of the International Sepsis Lecture series.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition driven by an overwhelming immune response to infection—often triggered by bacterial endotoxins from Gram-negative bacteria. Early detection and characterization of these molecules is essential for guiding effective treatment and improving patient outcomes.

🔬 Advances in bacterial detection are opening new possibilities for analyzing complex biological samples — from hospital settings to research labs — enabling faster, more precise interventions.

👉 At LPS-BioSciences, it is possible to detect endotoxins in complex samples such as serum, plasma, urine, and more.
Here’s a document outlining 5 key methods to quantify endotoxins, along with their advantages and limitations.
