Jingshu Guo, Ph.D., specializes in clinical and toxicology LC-MS workflows. With over 15 years of experience in mass spectrometry, she develops robust, scalable analytical solutions across small molecules, peptides, and protein-based applications. She works at the intersection of science, customer needs, and business strategy, translating complex analytical challenges into practical workflows that support real-world laboratory adoption. Her work spans clinical research, toxicology, and biomonitoring, including PFAS analysis in biological matrices. She is particularly interested in systems-level approaches while emphasizing well-validated, targeted assays for reliable decision-making.
Bhandari, Jay
Jay started his research career studying post-translational modification and its role in abiotic stress signaling mechanisms. He followed his research interest in cancer biology and investigated the chromosome repair mechanisms that cells use to escape the normal limits of growth when faced with unrepairable DNA damage and was involved in studying biochemical pathways for measuring levels of R-loops and nucleic acid unwinding mechanisms. At Thermo Fisher Scientific, Jay is applying several sample preparation reagents and instruments for a variety of applications to enable our customers and provide better life science solutions.
Van den Berg, Arjen
After receiving his PhD in Medicine from the University of Amsterdam in 2007, Arjen van den Berg moved to San Diego, USA, joining The Scripps Research Institute to work in the field small RNA mediated regulation of gene expression. He then joined the lab of Steven Dowdy at the department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine of UCSD to work on the dream of bringing siRNA drugs into the clinic to target the undruggable domain. With over two decades of hardcore molecular cell biology experience under his belt he joined ThermoFisher Scientific in Frederick, MD in 2017, where he currently leads a team dedicated to early feasibility research in the field of optimizing mammalian protein and viral vector production systems.
When not fixing problems and creating solutions in the lab, Arjen can be found aimlessly biking around in the hood or wandering in nature, pumping his skateboard around the track or wrenching on his classic sports car. Preferably in the company of his family.
