Closing out the last of our scientific talks at #2023JointASM is A/Prof Yugeesh Lankadeva Yugeesh Lankadeva. Today he shares his long journey with ascorbate (vitamin C) 🍊 and how a mega dose of this can mitigate sepsis induced multiple organ dysfunction. AAS Australian Vascular Biology Society


Dr Connie Ow Connie Ow, Ph.D & Dr Darius Lane provides compelling evidence on the physiological differences between using ascorbic acid vs sodium ascorbate for sepsis- “Not all Vitamin C is created equal” @M_Plums Yugeesh Lankadeva


Prof Clive May gives a fantastic talk on the beneficial effects on mega-dose sodium ascorbate on reversing brain 🧠 micro-circulatory dysfunction in septic shock. Yugeesh Lankadeva The Florey @M_Plums


Dr Samantha Emery from WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) talks about protocol optimisation for proteomics & extra cellular vesicles investigations in the patient samples coming out of the multicentre phase Ib & II clinical trials for the MEGASCORES program @M_Plums Yugeesh Lankadeva


Mr Brett Purcell shares a heartfelt story about his experience with septic shock & had to be placed on ECMO & renal replacement therapy in ICU- Brett also offered invaluable input into our patient consent forms for our upcoming clinical trials. @M_Plums Yugeesh Lankadeva The Florey

It is with great sadness to share the passing of Dr. Barry M. Brenner on August 6, 2024, at the age of 86. A past president of American Society of Nephrology (1986-1987) and a visionary in nephrology, Dr. Brenner’s groundbreaking research in glomerular physiology and hyperfiltration has left an

Extremely honored and proud to represent Hypertension Australia at the #Hypertension24 to talk about the effectiveness of the use of sodium ascorbate in sepsis!






First work day for 2025 at The Florey - Really excited to unravel the mysteries behind the transition of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease following critical illnesses including #Sepsis
