Gujral Punjab Technical University in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences-Pharmacy, she contributes to academic supervision and institutional committees, including serving as Member Secretary of the OBC Cell at her institution.
Dr. Kamboj's research specializes in pharmacognosy and phytochemistry, with a focus on isolating and characterizing bioactive phytoconstituents from medicinal plants and evaluating their pharmacological profiles. Her highly cited works include 'Isolation of stigmasterol and β-sitosterol from petroleum ether extract of aerial parts of Ageratum conyzoides (Asteraceae)' (2011, with A.K. Saluja), 'Ageratum conyzoides L.: A review on its phytochemical and pharmacological profile' (2008, with A.K. Saluja), 'Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lam.) Kurz.: phytochemical and pharmacological profile: a review' (2009), 'Phytopharmacological review of Xanthium strumarium L. (Cocklebur)' (2010, with A.K. Saluja), 'Analytical evaluation of herbal drugs' (2012), 'Optimization and development of antidiabetic phytosomes by the Box–Behnken design' (2018, with S. Rathee), 'Antiviral activity of plant polyphenols' (2012, with A.K. Saluja, M. Kumar, P. Atri), 'Development of validated HPTLC method for quantification of stigmasterol from leaf and stem of Bryophyllum pinnatum' (2017, with A.K.
