Life-Saving Rapid Antibiotic Test for Fighting Sepsis | Sunghoon Kwon | TEDxKFAS

Every year, 18 million people are suffering from blood stream infection. The mortality rate in 30 days of sepsis is larger than that of stroke or heart attack, quite a surprise. The mortality rate increases by 9% every hour, unless the appropriate antibiotic treatment is given to patients. Prompt prescription of accurate antibiotics is very important to increase survival rate of sepsis and there are clear unmet medical need to expedite antibiotic susceptibility testing. In this talk, I will talk about direct and rapid antimicrobial susceptibility test (dRAST), a new life saving diagnostic test for fast selection of antibiotics for blood stream infection. I will exemplify dRAST as a lifesaving technological innovation that starting from need driven research. Sunghoon Kwon is a professor of School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University. He received his B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (1998), M.S. in Biomedical Engineering (2000) from Seoul National University, and his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of California, Berkeley (2004). He received many prestigious awards including the 2011 KAST Young Scientist Award, the 2012 Presidential Young Scientist Award, the 2016 IEEK/IEEE IT Young Engineer Award, and the 2018 NAEK Young Engineer Award. He is also founder and CEO of Quanta Matrix Inc., a company that develops microfluidic-based rapid antibiotic susceptibility test. His research interest is to develop diagnostic and therapeutic technologies for personalized medicine. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
