Dr. Munshi's research centers on cost-effectiveness analysis and decision modeling in public health policy. His work evaluates cancer screening programs—particularly for lung and cervical cancers—and assesses health outcomes in post-transplant diabetes, maternal and child health in India, and telehealth applications. He uses advanced modeling techniques to inform clinical guidelines and health policy decisions.

The 15 most recent publications reflect a strong focus on modeling health interventions, with recurring themes in cancer screening efficiency, risk stratification, and health equity. His work frequently appears in top-tier journals such as Annals of Internal Medicine, JAMA Oncology, and PLoS One, often in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams in epidemiology and health policy.

While no formal awards are listed, his contributions to health policy modeling are significant. He has contributed to analyses informing USPSTF guidelines and international health strategies, particularly in preventive oncology and maternal health.

Dr. Munshi has advised on numerous research projects involving cost-effectiveness and population health modeling. Though no direct advisees are listed, his collaborative publications suggest mentorship and leadership in complex health economics studies. He has not received any listed grants, but his work is embedded in large-scale modeling initiatives with substantial institutional support.

He is affiliated with research teams focused on cancer screening modeling and health policy at Harvard and Boston University, contributing to decision-analytic frameworks used in national and global health recommendations.
