Study vs studies

Dear All.

Now I trying to understand what I found some sentence as the below,

"Now, Dr Anna Machin is an evolutionary anthropologist. She studies, among other things, how human behaviour has changed and is changing. "

From here, I'm confused about "She studies". might be it should be a study not studies. aren't you?
