Aashit Shah is affiliated with Virginia Tech in the United States and has contributed extensively to research in medicine, particularly focusing on neurology and psychiatry. Their work spans multiple subfields including psychiatry and mental health, cellular and molecular neuroscience, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, as well as cognitive neuroscience.

The primary research topics covered by Shah include epilepsy research and treatment, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, pharmacological effects and toxicity studies, psychosomatic disorders and their treatments, neurological disorders and treatments, traumatic brain injury and neurovascular disturbances, and neurosurgical procedures and complications.

Shah has authored numerous papers published in a range of scientific journals. Notable recent publications include:

  • Efficacy and Safety of XEN1101, a Novel Potassium Channel Opener, in Adults With Focal Epilepsy (2023, JAMA Neurology)
  • Seizure-related injury and postictal aggression in refractory epilepsy patients (2020, Epilepsy Research)
  • Frontal lobe hypometabolism associated with Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) risk: An objective PET study (2021, Epilepsy & Behavior)
  • Neurotoxicity from intrathecal gadolinium administration (2020, Neurology Clinical Practice)
  • Histopathology of new-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) in adults (2021, Seizure)

The journals where Shah has frequently published include Neurology, Journal of Pharma Insights and Research, Epilepsy & Behavior, Neurology Clinical Practice, and JAMA Neurology.
