Her research has been widely published and reflects a commitment to exploring the intricacies of disease and their clinical manifestations.

Srestha’s research interests continue to evolve, centering on the complex interplay between brain pathology and clinical outcomes, as well as the cognitive, behavioural, and psychological changes seen in neurodegenerative diseases and their impact on patients’ and carers. Her broader research aims focus on enhancing the quality of life for patients with MND and FTD. Through her work, she seeks not only to deepen scientific understanding but also to provide meaningful improvements in patient care and support for their families.
