Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

David L. Wassell's research has focused on methods for detecting bacterial colonization on orthopedic implants and assessing the release of antibiotics from bone cements. His work includes investigating ultrasonication as a technique for recovering bacteria from implanted devices. He has also examined the effectiveness of different sampling methods for drug elution studies, specifically with tobramycin from calcium sulfate. Further research involved using phenolphthalein to evaluate the permeability of antibiotic-laden polymethyl methacrylate, a common bone cement material. Wassell's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, with three publications and 133 total citations.
