Reena Shakya's research focuses on the molecular biology of cancer, particularly using laboratory models of pancreatic cancer and glioma (a type of brain tumor) to study how tumors develop and respond to treatment. Work includes studying DNA repair proteins in mammary (breast) tumor formation and testing drug therapies, such as hypomethylating agents (drugs that alter DNA modification patterns to affect gene activity), in cancer models. The research combines genetic, genomic, and experimental approaches to understand tumor progression and identify potential treatment strategies.

Publication output was relatively steady at a modest pace through most of the last decade, with a sharp, unusual spike in 2023 followed by little to no output in 2024.
