"Precise diagnosis of prosthetic joint infections using next-generation sequencing"
Year: 2019
Institution: Hospital for Special Surgery
Principal Investigator: Dr. Laura Donlin
Research Category: Translational
Dr. Laura Donlin at the HSS Research Institute and Weill Cornell Medicine and collaborators are applying cutting-edge molecular technologies to improve the care of patients who endure infections around prosthetic joints. Specifically, they are using next-generation sequencing approaches to diagnose and track treatment responses using a blood-based assay that accurately detects the causal microorganism.
