Pranav Danthi studies how reoviruses (a family of non-enveloped viruses) infect cells, focusing on the molecular steps of viral entry, the proteins that make up the virus shell, and how the virus interacts with host cell defenses. A notable applied direction is using reoviruses as 'oncolytic' agents that can selectively kill cancer cells, particularly breast cancer stem cells. The work combines virology, cell biology, and genetic screening techniques.

Publication output was strong in the late 2010s through 2022, then settled to a steady pace of about four to five papers per year in recent years.
