Foundation celebrates 25 years of supporting innovative research
As a young School of Medicine faculty member rounding on patients, Jeffrey P. Henderson, MD/PhD, observed an increase in recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) among hospitalized older adults, who experience a high rate of UTI complications. If there was a way to identify the biomarkers of a severe infection, he theorized, at-risk patients could be treated earlier and more effectively, leading to better outcomes.
