Wishy is currently a PhD candidate within the Translational Neuropathology Laboratory based at Helen Mayo South as part of The University of Adelaide. While ischaemic stroke has always been the main focus for her research, she has recently shifted from researching chronic post-stroke outcomes during her Honours, to focus on the more acute aspects in her PhD.

Beyond her own research, she has also worked as a research assistant for The University of Adelaide's Translational Vascular Function Research Collaborative based at the Basil Hetzel Institute, Royal Adelaide Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Within this role, she worked on the Personalising Acute Myocardial Infarction Care to improve Outcomes (PAMICO) and The Coronary Angiogram Database of South Australia (CADOSA) projects.

Her PhD project is looking at the effects of Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists in reducing ischaemic stroke complications, such as cerebral oedema. This project will also explore beyond central inflammation to incorporate peripheral inflammation in the gut-brain-axis, implicated to increase risk of stroke and impair recovery post-stroke.
