Bibliography
Tom van der Poll is Professor of Medicine and Chair of the Department of Medicine in the Amsterdam University Medical Centers, location Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Van der Poll is board certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases. His training included a postdoctoral research fellowship in Cornell University Medical College in New York (1993-1995). Van der Poll’s research focuses on pneumonia and sepsis, particularly on pathogenesis, the host response and biomarkers. He published > 800 articles on this topic. Van der Poll has served as a member of Data Safety and Clinical Monitoring Boards of several pivotal phase III sepsis and pneumonia trials evaluating immunomodulatory agents.
The sepsis-associated host response is characterized by concurrent excessive inflammatory, catabolic, metabolic and immune suppressive features, and a failure to return to homeostasis, which oftentimes results in a condition referred to as chronic critical illness. The understanding of key mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis has increased tremendously, yet this still needs to be translated into novel targeted therapeutic strategies. Pivotal for the clinical development of new sepsis therapies is selection of patients based on biomarkers and/or functional defects that provide specific insight in the expression or activity of the therapeutic target. Future research should focus the discovery and validation of biomarkers that reflect predominant pathophysiological mechanisms at different body sites and can guide selection of patients for targeted therapies and the monitoring thereof.
