Keity J. Farfán‐Pira's research investigates vector-borne infectious diseases and the molecular mechanisms underlying biological pattern formation. Recent publications include work on the comparative study of stridulatory grooves in Triatoma species from Mexico, and the development of a heteroduplex assay for identifying triatomine vectors of Chagas disease. Farfán‐Pira has also published on the genetic and regulatory elements influencing wing scaling in *Drosophila* species, utilizing an open-source image analysis pipeline for high-dimensional data. Collaborations include work with Timothy A. Evans, Erica L. Westerman, and Grace E. Hirzel, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom Farfán‐Pira has co-authored multiple publications. The researcher's work also extends to the study of parasitic infections, with publications on amebiasis in Mexico and the surface ultrastructure of *Entamoeba histolytica* and *Giardia lamblia* cysts. Farfán‐Pira's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 2 and 17 total citations across 10 publications.
