Research
The Vachharajani lab investigates immuno-metabolic response in sepsis and septic shock with specific interest in the role of sirtuin nutrient sensors. The team focuses on immuno-metabolic pathways that dysregulate host response to pathogen during early and late phases of sepsis, with the goal of developing effective therapies to reduce immune dysfunction and sepsis-related mortality.
The current NIH-funded projects using human biospecimen and laboratory models of sepsis, focus on the effect of high fat diet and alcohol consumption on the immune response in sepsis and septic shock.

Careers
Research News
New research shows almost a thousand metabolites inappropriately accumulated in the bloodstreams of patients with septic shock.
Teams of physicians and researchers receive funding to pursue new approaches to solving problems in patient care.
Dr. Vachharajani and her team will study the immuno-metabolic mechanisms that trigger dysfunction in alcohol consumption with sepsis to identify new therapeutic targets for expanded treatments.
