Richard W. Hardy studies how alphaviruses—mosquito-borne viruses such as chikungunya and Sindbis—replicate and interact with the cells of both their insect and mammalian hosts. Much of the work focuses on how viral proteins bind viral RNA to control processes like protein production and how host cell factors shape infection, along with genomic studies of insect pests and vectors.

Publication activity has been modest and uneven over the past decade, with a large spike in 2020 (largely dataset files from a single genome paper) and otherwise a low, roughly steady output of a few papers per year.
