It was informative and fun to speak with Molecular Biologist, Signe Elisabeth Asberg today. She is currently a Research Advisor and Innovation Advisor at the Geminicenter for Sepsis Research at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, working to facilitate a successful translation of medical research into the health care system. She is also starting an organization to intervene on the wide-spread issue of sepsis. 

While obtaining her PhD, Signe investigated the interplay between macrophages, antibiotic therapy and mycobacteria at the level of single cells and single bacteria. I spoke with her about the interplay of what we know today about sepsis and COVID-19.
