Sepsis is a common disease that is often fatal to the patient. However, early detection and compliance with treatment standards can significantly reduce mortality.

ITB donated the large amount of 5000 euros to the Sepsis Foundation in spring 2019. The Sepsis Foundation was founded in 2012 as a foundation under civil law based in Jena. The foundation serves to promote education, science, research and innovation for early diagnosis, treatment, prevention and the reduction of consequential damage from sepsis.
