Richard K. Wilson's work centers on genomic sequencing and its application to understanding cancer and genetic disease, including large-scale studies of cancer genomes, pediatric and congenital cancers, and rare genetic disorders. His research uses DNA sequencing technologies to identify mutations, structural genome changes, and inherited (germline) risk factors that contribute to disease. Much of this work involves large international consortia analyzing thousands of cancer genomes to catalog patterns of mutation and genome rearrangement.

Publication output was high and relatively steady from 2017 to 2023 (often 30-50+ papers/year) but dropped sharply in 2024-2025, suggesting a recent slowdown in output.
