Their research spans several fields within biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a significant focus on genetics and molecular biology, as well as medicine. Their work includes subfields such as genetics, molecular biology, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, infectious diseases, and obstetrics and gynecology.

Their main research topics include genetic associations and epidemiology, epigenetics and DNA methylation, genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock, birth, development, and health, genetic mapping and diversity in plants and animals, health, environment, and cognitive aging, and genetic factors in colorectal cancer.

Robinson's publication record features several recent papers, including:

  • "Refining epigenetic prediction of chronological and biological age" (2023) published in Genome Medicine
  • "Bayesian reassessment of the epigenetic architecture of complex traits" (2020) published in Nature Communications
  • "Multi-method genome- and epigenome-wide studies of inflammatory protein levels in healthy older adults" (2020) published in Genome Medicine
  • "Quantification of the overall contribution of gene-environment interaction for obesity-related traits" (2020) published in Nature Communications
  • "Blood-based epigenome-wide analyses of cognitive abilities" (2022) published in Genome Biology

Their frequent coauthors include Riccardo E. Marioni, Daniel L. McCartney, Kathryn L. Evans, Robert F. Hillary, and Daniel Trejo Baños.

Robinson has published extensively in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Communications, The American Journal of Human Genetics, Genome Medicine, and Genome Biology.
