Additionally, she is at the forefront of the national "Outlier" study that investigates exceptional responders to metastatic cancers to uncover novel therapeutic targets. In an international capacity, she is involved with the Cancer Grand Challenge SAMBAI consortium, which studies the societal, genetic, and biological disparities in cancer outcomes. Professor Irshad has notable contributions to understanding immune responses in cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, guiding the UK government's responses through critical insights on vaccine efficacy among immunocompromised groups. Her extensive publication record positions her as a leading figure in the integration of immunology and oncology, particularly concerning breast cancer research and treatment.
