About Isabell

Bio

I am a PhD-trained scientist with over 15 years of experience in biology, specializing in immunology, cancer biology, and molecular research. I earned my doctorate in Cell Biology from the University of Muenster, Germany, graduating with honors in the top 10% of my class. Since then, I have built a career at leading research institutions in New York, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Cornell Medical College, where I’ve not only led research projects but also mentored...

I am a PhD-trained scientist with over 15 years of experience in biology, specializing in immunology, cancer biology, and molecular research. I earned my doctorate in Cell Biology from the University of Muenster, Germany, graduating with honors in the top 10% of my class. Since then, I have built a career at leading research institutions in New York, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Cornell Medical College, where I’ve not only led research projects but also mentored and taught students at various levels, from high school interns to graduate students.

Throughout my career, I’ve realized that teaching science is about much more than delivering information — it’s about fostering curiosity and making complex concepts accessible. Whether I’m explaining how immune cells fight cancer or helping a student master tricky biology concepts, I focus on clear explanations, real-world examples, and encouraging critical thinking. I have extensive experience in one-on-one mentoring, classroom instruction, and hands-on training in both academic and lab settings. My teaching style adapts to each student’s goals, whether they’re preparing for exams, deepening subject knowledge, or exploring research opportunities.

If you're looking for a tutor who can break down advanced biology topics with clarity and connect them to real scientific discoveries, I’d love to work with you. My goal is to help students not only succeed academically but also gain the confidence to think like scientists.
