Rael J. Too's research focuses on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in water sources, food, wildlife, and human infections in Kenya and related settings. The work uses molecular and epidemiological methods to track resistance genes (such as carbapenemase-producing genes) across environmental, animal, and human samples, applying a 'One Health' perspective that connects human, animal, and environmental health. This research is relevant to understanding how drug-resistant bacteria spread through rivers, food, birds, and wastewater, and to improving diagnostic tools and community-level responses to resistant infections.

Publication output was sparse and irregular in the earlier part of the decade but has increased sharply in the most recent years, especially with a large cluster of publications appearing in 2025-2026.
