The scientist's publication record included papers published in venues such as Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, UNC Libraries, and arXiv (Cornell University). Some of the notable papers in their recent work included:

  • "Ondine's Curse in Frontotemporal Dementia with Parkinsonism Linked to Chromosome 17 Caused by MAPT Variants" (2021, Movement Disorders Clinical Practice)
  • "X-Linked Dominant Scapuloperoneal Myopathy Is Due to a Mutation in the Gene Encoding Four-and-a-Half-LIM Protein 1" (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • "Characterizing the contribution of dust-obscured star formation at $z \gtrsim$ 5 using 18 serendipitously identified [CII] emitters" (2024, arXiv (Cornell University))

Throughout their career, Lewis P. Rowland collaborated with several researchers, frequently co-authoring works with Laura Williams, Diana A. Olszewska, Conor Fearon, Brian Magennis, and Allan McCarthy.

Their interdisciplinary approach integrated studies from genetics to cardiology and astrophysics, illustrating a diverse research portfolio. This included investigations of neurodegenerative and neurogenetic disorders, along with research on cardiomyopathy and structural cardiac repair mechanisms, as well as astrophysical phenomena related to star formation in the early universe.
