Dr. Qureshi's research spans multiple domains with a strong emphasis on breast oncology and hematologic disorders. Her work demonstrates an interdisciplinary approach that bridges clinical practice with medical humanities, pharmacogenomics, and global health equity. She has developed a particular expertise in the application of targeted therapies for breast cancer, especially CDK4/6 inhibitors, and has explored the challenges of implementing oncology drug therapies in resource-limited settings including sub-Saharan Africa.

Analysis of her publication record reveals a consistent pattern of scholarly activity across three primary domains: clinical oncology research (particularly breast cancer), medical humanities and ethics, and healthcare implementation science. Her articles in Academic Medicine demonstrate a commitment to medical education and professional development, while her oncology publications show deep engagement with both clinical practice and translational research. Recent work increasingly focuses on health equity and global health applications of cancer therapeutics.
