Overview

Paul Stoodley was affiliated with The Ohio State University in the United States. Their research primarily focused on several interconnected fields including medicine, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a significant concentration in surgery and molecular biology subfields.

Stoodley's work prominently centered on topics related to bacterial biofilms and quorum sensing, orthopedic infections and treatments, and oral microbiology and periodontitis research. Additional research interests included orthopaedic implants and arthroplasty, antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus, total knee arthroplasty outcomes, and antimicrobial peptides and activities.

The scientist contributed to multiple papers published in respected journals and scientific venues. Notable recent publications include:

  • The biofilm life cycle: expanding the conceptual model of biofilm formation, 2022, Nature Reviews Microbiology
  • The biofilm matrix: multitasking in a shared space, 2022, Nature Reviews Microbiology
  • Mechano-bactericidal actions of nanostructured surfaces, 2020, Nature Reviews Microbiology
  • Antibacterial Action of Nanoparticles by Lethal Stretching of Bacterial Cell Membranes, 2020, Advanced Materials
  • Z-form extracellular DNA is a structural component of the bacterial biofilm matrix, 2021, Cell

Their frequent collaborators included Erin S. Gloag, Daniel J. Wozniak, Devendra H. Dusane, Anne C. Sullivan, and Amelia Staats, evidencing a collaborative approach in their research projects across a variety of microbiological and infection-related topics.

Throughout their career, Stoodley published in key scientific outlets such as Scientific Reports, Nature Reviews Microbiology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Orthopaedic Research®, and Biofilm, contributing multiple papers to these venues.

Their multidisciplinary research contributed to an understanding of infectious diseases, periodontics, ecology, and molecular biology, indicating a broad scope of inquiry into microbial mechanisms and clinical implications, especially in orthopedics and infectious disease management.
