About
Dr. Julie Stachowiak is a leading epidemiologist and infection prevention researcher whose work focuses on reducing healthcare-associated infections in high-risk settings. Her most cited study, a 2015 investigation in a long-term acute care facility, demonstrated the powerful impact of combining multidisciplinary care teams with pulsed-xenon ultraviolet room disinfection to significantly reduce Clostridium difficile transmission. With 65 citations, this work has influenced infection control protocols by showing that no-touch disinfection technology, when paired with coordinated clinical interventions, can break the chain of transmission in vulnerable patient populations. Dr. Stachowiak’s research bridges environmental hygiene and team-based care, offering practical, evidence-based solutions for combating one of the most persistent pathogens in healthcare settings. Her contributions have helped shape modern infection prevention strategies, emphasizing the importance of multimodal approaches in long-term care environments where patients face heightened risks.
