ISF Poster Award presented  at ECCMID 2007

ISF Poster Award presented at ECCMID 2006
The awardee was E.J. Giamarellos-Bourboulis for his work on "The pathophysiological role of blood monocytes for the release of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells -1(sTREM-1) in patients with sepsis"

ISF Poster Award presented at Shock Society 2005
The awardee was Deborah Carlson.

 

ISF Poster Award presented at ECCMID 2005
The awardee was Dr. Reimar W. Thomsen, Aalborg, DK for his work titled: "Association of statin therapy with 30-day and 180-day mortality in patients with bacteremia: population-based cohort study"



ISF Poster Award at ECCMID 2004
We are pleased to announce that DR Tom Sprong, University Medical Centre St Radboud Nijmegen, Department of General Medicine, in recognition of his excellent poster presentation at 14th ECCMID on the complement activation during meningococcal disease. His data demonstrate that the initial activation of the complement system during meningococcal infection is highly correlated with disease severity and that complement activation occurs via the alternative and lectin pathway, whereas classical pathway engagement develops only after 24 hours.




Young Investigator in Sepsis Award
The ISF 2002 Young Investigator in Sepsis Award was made at the Joint ESCMID-ISF session held at the ECCMID in Milan, Italy, April 22-24 2002, where the awardee, Dr Mihai Netea gave a presentation on his work. The joint symposium took place on Friday, April 26. The title is "New Pathogenetic Aspects of Sepsis".
