Michelle is a CSaP Policy Intern and a doctoral student at the Institute of Chemical Biology (ICB), jointly sponsored by Imperial College London and BASF. Her work in the Kuimova Research Group and Membrane Biophysics Group focuses on developing novel, optical-based approaches to monitor transport across complex biological barriers, revealing new insights into traditional pesticide delivery mechanisms.

Prior to starting her PhD, Michelle completed her MSci in Chemistry and her MRes in Chemical Biology and Bio-Entrepreneurship, both at Imperial College London. Beyond her research, she is also interested in driving real-world impact through policymaking and effective science communication.
