Richard W. Titball is affiliated with the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on the field of Medicine, with a particular emphasis on Epidemiology. The main topics of their work involve Burkholderia infections and melioidosis.

The scientist has published research in several journals, with recent works appearing in leading venues such as Scientific Reports and Frontiers in Microbiology.

  • Functional redundancy of Burkholderia pseudomallei phospholipase C enzymes and their role in virulence (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei Genes Induced During Infection of Macrophages by Differential Fluorescence Induction (2020, Frontiers in Microbiology)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Richard W. Titball include:

  • Patoo Withatanung
  • Joanne M. Stevens
  • Sunee Korbsrisate
  • Varintip Srinon
  • Somjit Chaiwattanarungruengpaisan

Their research contributions cover studies of Burkholderia pseudomallei, particularly focusing on its pathogenic mechanisms and genetic responses during macrophage infection, topics relevant to understanding virulence and host-pathogen interactions.
