Paris-Saclay Launches a World-First Institute to Combat Sepsis

On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the “Bridge the Gap” event, organized by Claire Richards and Roland Cahen, brought together 24 biologists, physicians, researchers, professors, and designers to discuss rapid Point-of-Care diagnosis of sepsis.

Maëlisse is a PhD student at MICALIS, INRAe. To gain a better understanding of the reality of sepsis in a hospital setting, she swapped her researcher’s lab coat for a clinical one for a week of shadowing in the Intensive Care Unit at Raymond-Poincaré Hospital in Garches.
