Kunaal Joshi studies how individual living cells regulate their size, growth, and division over generations, using bacteria and other model systems to uncover statistical rules ('scaling laws') that govern these processes even in the presence of random biological noise. This work extends into related questions about collective behavior in biological systems, such as how fireflies synchronize their flashing, and how populations of cells manage damage or face extinction. The research combines experimental data with mathematical and statistical modeling to explain patterns in single-cell and population-level biology.

Publication output was minimal or absent in the earlier part of the decade but grew substantially from 2022 onward, peaking in 2023, suggesting an increasingly active recent research output.
