Isha has been pioneering the field of cellular agriculture since 2009, publishing "Possibilities for an in-vitro meat production system" in the food science journal Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies. She quickly discovered that cellular agriculture research was not held back by a lack of interest or expertise, but instead by a lack of designated funding channels directed at this intersectional work. Thus began her quest to establish the field of animal products made without animals, one recognized by researchers, funding agencies, and investors. Following a stint in Policy and Public Affairs at GlaxoSmithKline, Isha became Executive Director of New Harvest in January 2013. Drawing from her experience at GSK, Isha has used a model established in the advancement of medical research to accelerate cellular agriculture, by funding early stage, foundational research in academia in order for ready-to-market technologies to be developed for commercial use. She co-founded Perfect Day Foods (formerly Muufri), making milk without cows, in April 2014 and Clara Foods, making eggs without chickens, in November 2014

Isha holds a BSc. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Alberta and a Masters in Biotechnology from the University of Toronto.
