Award winners were honored at the annual celebration hosted by the Office of Quality, Safety and Risk Prevention.

The pilot extends to continuous wireless monitoring of blood pressure, blood oxygen level, heart rate and continuous cardiac rhythm. The aim is improved vigilance, efficiency and satisfaction for patients and staff.

The award is the European research society's highest honor.

With a $3 million research grant, Henrique Serezani will investigate how altered metabolism in diabetes affects inflammation and sepsis.
