Her research focuses mainly on the relationship between nutritional ecology and endocrine physiology. As part of her dissertation, Dr. Sherry studied the effects of body weight and insulin levels on the reproductive hormones of American Samoan women within the context of a modernizing society. Other research topics include the study of dietary ecology in hunter-gatherer societies and the reproductive biology of wild chimpanzees in relation to seasonal resource availability. Recent publications have appeared in the American Journal of Human Biology and the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
