Ruchira Basu's work spans chemical biology and neuroscience, including how covalent drugs bind and change the shape of target proteins, and how metabolism in neurons and support cells (glia) affects memory formation in fruit flies (Drosophila). Earlier work also examined antibacterial materials made from self-assembling synthetic molecules. The overall focus is on connecting molecular-level chemistry (drug binding, protein structure) to biological outcomes like memory and antimicrobial activity.

Publication output was minimal or absent in the earlier part of the decade but has increased noticeably since 2022, with a small but steady stream of papers in recent years.
