In the battle against sepsis, speed is critical to achieving targeted therapy. T2 Biosystems has the only FDA cleared system for detecting sepsis-causing pathogens directly from blood, without the need to wait days for a positive culture. I believe we have an opportunity to save lives by becoming the standard of care in the detection of sepsis-causing pathogens, and drive long-term sustained growth.”
