Hjalmar Bouma, MD, PhD, EuCP, is a Consultant Internal Medicine with a focus on Acute Medicine, Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology. He aims to improve outcomes for sepsis patients by developing personalized acute medicine. To learn from individual differences in early sepsis, clinical data and biomaterials from thousands of acutely ill patients per year are collected under his supervision by the Acutelines data-biobank (www.acutelines.nl) that facilitates the identification of (risk) markers predictive of response to therapy. Biomarkers associated with clinical outcomes in patients are further dissected in pre-clinical models to identify novel therapeutic targets. He is fascinated by hibernation: specific adaptations render the animals resistant to metabolic stress, which can serve as a blueprint for developing new therapies and has already resulted in a patented drug for sepsis. His research group is a dynamic blend of (technical) clinicians and experts in data and life sciences (more information: www.sepsisresearch.nl).
