Volition to host multiple presentations at the International Symposium on Intensive Care & Emergency Medicine in Brussels, Belgium, from March 18 - 21
HENDERSON, Nev., March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition"), a multi-national epigenetics company, announced its participation at the 44th Annual ISICEM ("International Symposium on Intensive Care & Emergency Medicine") Congress in Brussels Belgium being held from March 18-21. As a silver sponsor, Volition will support multiple presentations highlighting the Company's Nu.Q® H3.1 epigenetic screening technology in intensive care and emergency medicine settings.
Dr. Andrew Retter, Chief Medical Officer at Volition, commented:
"Volition is thrilled to be a supporting presence at the 44th Annual ISICEM Congress. This year is exceptionally exciting for Volition as multiple groundbreaking studies that validate the crucial role of NETosis, NETs, and specifically nucleosomes-H3.1 in the screening, monitoring, and early intervention of sepsis in ICU settings are being presented.
"These developments open the door to a tremendous $1B+ market opportunity in sepsis care alone, positioning Volition at the forefront of this revolutionary advancement in critical care medicine.
Most importantly there is increasing evidence that monitoring H3.1 nucleosome is a new tool which may improve patient outcomes."

About ISICEM
The ISICEM annual congress is one of the largest Intensive Care conferences in its field, attracting more than 5,000 participants from countries worldwide. The aim of ISICEM is to improve the care of the critically ill patient through better clinical management, by facilitating ongoing education and training of all healthcare staff involved in patient care and supporting and encouraging constructive research in the field. The hope is that every person who attends one of their events will learn something new and useful that they can take back to their units and share with colleagues to improve the practice of intensive care and ultimately patient outcomes.
