Petrus Nolte

Prof. Petrus Nolte is an Endowed Professor in Oral Cell Biology at the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA). He concurrently serves as a surgeon at Spaarne Gasthuis Hospital in Hoofddorp, holding an ancillary role since 2003. His primary affiliation is with ACTA, where he focuses on translational dental and bone research, particularly in orthopedics. Nolte’s research emphasizes prosthetic joint infections, bone regeneration, and implant biocompatibility, bridging clinical and experimental studies. His work integrates cell biology, biomaterials, and clinical outcomes in orthopedic applications.

Research Interests: His specialties include Total Knee Arthroplasty, osteoclast biology, biofilm treatment, and prosthetic infection management. He explores endolysin-based therapies for MRSA biofilms and investigates implant surface effects on bone cell behavior. Recent studies focus on antibiotic combination therapies for prosthetic joint infections and long-term outcomes of knee implant systems.

• Education: PhD research on unhealed bone at ACTA, foundational to his translational bone research.

Awards: None explicitly mentioned in the text.

• Grants/Supervised Work: Supervised 2 PhD theses. Collaborates on clinical trials like the RiCOTTA-trial for prosthetic infection protocols.

Labs/Teams: Engaged with multidisciplinary teams at ACTA and Spaarne Gasthuis, focusing on translational orthopedic and dental research. Leads studies on implant materials and biofilm therapies, with datasets available on platforms like Figshare.
