More specifically, she focuses on the phagocytic mechanism by which the retinal pigment epithelium eats depleted photoreceptor outer segments. Her current research interests are in the cellular and biochemical maintenance of the retina and its supporting structures. Shelby joined the faculty of Florida Southern in the fall of 2015.

Shelby studied degeneration of the retina following retinal injury and disease.
