Michelle shares her personal journey from genetics and cell biology research into enabling entrepreneurship, and explains how CIC’s “invisible infrastructure” helps life science and medtech founders move faster by reducing operational, regulatory, and capital burdens through plug-and-play wet labs, shared equipment, safety and compliance support, and a deeply staffed community model. The conversation highlights how CIC strategically launches campuses through years of local ecosystem buy-in, why programming and connection points matter as much as square footage, and how CIC’s global footprint helps companies navigate international expansion and business culture.
