Her expertise centers on commercializing life science and medical device innovations, bridging academic research with market applications through executive education and entrepreneurial initiatives.

Her educational foundation includes a Ph.D. in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics from Duke University and a B.A. in Biology from Bard College. This scientific background uniquely informs her business scholarship.

Munshaw's research examines technology transfer mechanisms, pharmaceutical pricing strategies, and entrepreneurial ecosystem development. She investigates how human capital and institutional support influence biomedical patenting, with recent work focusing on real-world applications like $2 million therapies and retail venture formation. Her scholarship connects computational biology rigor with business strategy frameworks.

Publication trends reveal an evolution from virology research (2012-2016 HIV/hepatitis C studies) to contemporary business scholarship (2019-2021 case studies on drug pricing and values-driven startups), demonstrating strategic adaptation to innovation commercialization challenges.
