2013 - Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Biofilm, Quorum sensing and Biochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteria, Indole test and Multidrug tolerance, which intersect with Microbiology. His Escherichia coli research includes themes of Molecular biology, Gene expression and Mutant.

Thomas K. Wood interconnects Extracellular, Fimbria, Biophysics and Motility in the investigation of issues within Biofilm. His Quorum sensing study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Vibrio harveyi and Cell biology. His Hydrogen production, Enzyme and Plasma protein binding study in the realm of Biochemistry connects with subjects such as Uridine monophosphate.

His most cited work include:

  • Autoinducer 2 Controls Biofilm Formation in Escherichia coli through a Novel Motility Quorum-Sensing Regulator (MqsR, B3022) (429 citations)
  • Cryptic prophages help bacteria cope with adverse environments (378 citations)
  • The bacterial signal indole increases epithelial-cell tight-junction resistance and attenuates indicators of inflammation (376 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Thomas K. Wood mainly investigates Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Biofilm, Bacteria and Biochemistry. His Microbiology research includes elements of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Quorum sensing, Virulence and Multidrug tolerance. Thomas K. Wood has included themes like Molecular biology, Mutant and Cell biology in his Escherichia coli study.

The various areas that Thomas K. Wood examines in his Molecular biology study include Plasmid and Antitoxin. His study explores the link between Biofilm and topics such as Nuclear chemistry that cross with problems in Toluene. His Toluene research integrates issues from Stereochemistry and Pseudomonas mendocina.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (37.30%)
  • Escherichia coli (31.35%)
  • Biofilm (28.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Microbiology (37.30%)
  • Multidrug tolerance (10.30%)
  • Cell biology (9.15%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Multidrug tolerance, Cell biology, Bacteria and Escherichia coli. The study of Microbiology is intertwined with the study of Indole test in a number of ways. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Signal peptide, Secretion, Ribosome and Toxin-antitoxin system.

His work in the fields of Bacteria, such as Biofilm, overlaps with other areas such as Lytic cycle. His research integrates issues of Polynucleotide and Virulence in his study of Biofilm. Escherichia coli is a primary field of his research addressed under Gene.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • ppGpp ribosome dimerization model for bacterial persister formation and resuscitation. (28 citations)
  • Relationship Between Quorum Sensing and Secretion Systems. (27 citations)
  • Persister Cells Resuscitate Using Membrane Sensors that Activate Chemotaxis, Lower cAMP Levels, and Revive Ribosomes. (23 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Thomas K. Wood mostly deals with Multidrug tolerance, Cell biology, Ribosome, Bacteria and Microbiology. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Toxin, Antitoxin, Toxin-antitoxin system and Biofilm. Thomas K. Wood has researched Bacteria in several fields, including Food science and Gram-negative bacteria.

His work on Microbiology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. His work investigates the relationship between Cell and topics such as Escherichia coli that intersect with problems in Strain. His work in Antibiotics tackles topics such as Indole test which are related to areas like Quorum sensing.
