Overview

Richard R. Tidwell is affiliated with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States and focuses on research within the field of medicine. Their work spans several subfields including epidemiology, organic chemistry, molecular biology, public health, environmental and occupational health, and infectious diseases.

The scientist's research predominantly covers topics related to Trypanosoma species and their biological implications. Other significant areas include studies on leishmaniasis, synthesis and biological evaluation of compounds, HIV/AIDS drug development and treatment, click chemistry applications, and pediatric health with a focus on respiratory diseases.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with them include Reto Brun, David W. Boykin (with two distinct author entries), Donald A. Patrick, and Susan Jones.

They have contributed publications to various venues, with a notable number appearing in:

  • UNC Libraries
  • OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)
  • eLife
  • Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Recent papers exemplify the breadth of their research and include:

  • "Positively selected modifications in the pore of TbAQP2 allow pentamidine to enter Trypanosoma brucei," published in 2020 in eLife
  • "Human African trypanosomiasis: pharmacological re-engagement with a neglected disease," published in 2020 in UNC Libraries
  • "Phenotypic Drug Discovery for Human African Trypanosomiasis: A Powerful Approach," published in 2020 in Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
  • "Synthesis and Antiprotozoal Activity of Cationic 1,4-Diphenyl-1 H -1,2,3-triazoles," published in 2020 in OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)
  • "Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Dicationic Carbazole Compounds, Nitazoxanide, and Paromomycin against Cryptosporidium parvum Infections in a Neonatal Mouse Model," published in 2020 in UNC Libraries
