Isha Dey is a senior scientist in Cell Biology at Thermo Fisher Scientific. After receiving her masters’ degree in Biochemistry from the University of Calcutta, she received her Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science at the Chicago Medical School in 2018. Her research focused on understanding the role of Lemur tyrosine kinase 2 (LMTK2), a membrane anchored kinase, in regulating fluid transport across the intestinal epithelium in organoid models. Since joining Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2018, she has helped develop advanced cell models for cancer research, stem cell research, as well as methods for high throughput imaging and analysis of these models. She specializes in stem cell and primary cell culture, stem cell differentiation, patient-derived cancer organoid culture, development of co-culture models, cell engineering, and high-content live and fixed cell imaging. She leads a team of scientists focusing on generating applications data to support portfolio development and marketability for new and legacy products.
