Timothy L. Ratliff's research centers on urological cancers, particularly bladder and prostate cancer, with attention to immune system involvement, cancer cell metabolism (such as cholesterol processing), and mechanisms of drug resistance in prostate cancer treatment. Recent work has examined how epigenetic regulators (DNA methyltransferases, or DNMTs) contribute to resistance against the prostate cancer drug enzalutamide, as well as classification of precancerous lesions and models for studying aging alongside cancer.

Publication output was relatively steady at single digits to low teens per year from 2017-2022, then showed an unusual sharp spike in 2023 (152 publications, largely supplementary data files from one study) before returning to lower single-digit counts in subsequent years.
