Her research focuses on neuroprotection in retinal diseases, viral hepatitis pathogenesis, nephrotoxicity mechanisms, and amyloid beta-related oxidative stress. Publications highlight work on growth hormone signaling, prostaglandin E2 effects in kidney injury, and statin therapy for retinal vascular disorders.

Recent publications reveal trends in neuroprotective mechanisms (2015), viral hepatitis-induced cellular abnormalities (2014), renal regenerative pharmacology (2013), and oxidative stress in retinal neurodegeneration (2009-2012). Key methodologies span animal models, molecular signaling pathways, and drug intervention studies.
