Luanne Hall‐Stoodley

Luanne Hall-Stoodley's research focuses on bacterial biofilms—communities of bacteria that stick together and become more resistant to antibiotics—especially in chronic respiratory infections like cystic fibrosis and diseases involving Mycobacterium abscessus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Haemophilus influenzae. Her work spans understanding how biofilms form and behave physically, how they interact with airway tissue, and how novel treatments such as nitric-oxide-releasing compounds might help break down or weaken these bacterial communities. This research is relevant to students interested in microbiology, infectious disease, and translational approaches to hard-to-treat chronic infections.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with peaks in 2017 and 2020 and a recent average of about 2 papers per year, suggesting a slowing or more variable pace in the most recent years.
