Michelle Scriver
Summary
I’m a collaborative scientist with a strong interest in applying molecular tools to solve both environmental and health-related challenges. My background spans marine biosecurity, invasive species detection, and biodiversity monitoring, as well as gene therapy, GMP quality control, and breast cancer research.
After five years in GMP and R&D roles in the gene therapy industry, I completed a PhD with the Marine Biosecurity Team at the Cawthron Institute in Nelson, New Zealand. My research focused on optimizing environmental DNA (eDNA) and RNA (eRNA) techniques for marine biosecurity applications.
Currently, I’m a Research Scientist and Lab Manager at Sequench Ltd., where I lead a laboratory specializing in molecular analysis of complex environmental samples. Leveraging advanced Illumina sequencing technologies, I provide high-quality data to help clients solve challenging research questions.
I’m passionate about molecular innovation and developing technologies that make science more impactful and actionable.
