She has investigated the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for intensified screening rounds in carriers of pathogenic germline variants, as seen in interim results from the PROGRESS study. Almashad's work also extends to diagnostic challenges, including a case series on the 'hook effect' in immunoglobulin A (IgA) measurements. Additionally, her publications include case reports on rare medical conditions such as perineuriomatous melanocytic nevi and xanthogranulomatous peritonitis.
