OverviewAI-generated summary
R. H. Leach's research has focused on the study of Mycoplasma, a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall. Early work involved the construction of evolutionary trees for Mycoplasma using 5S rRNA sequence data and comparative studies of Mycoplasma from bovine origins. Leach has also investigated the taxonomy of the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster, including numerical analysis of protein patterns and proposals for subspecies designation. This research has identified new Mycoplasma species, such as Mycoplasma dispar, isolated from the lungs of calves, and has explored Mycoplasma that induce acidity and cytopathic effects in tissue culture.
More recently, Leach's scholarly activity has included a systematic review on the reporting of usability and impact of mHealth interventions for substance use disorder. Leach holds an h-index of 24 with over 2,000 citations across 77 publications. Collaborations include work with Marco Dehnert, Kaitlin M. Gallagher, and Melissa Taylor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
