Michele has been involved with innovation research and policy in some capacity over the last nine years. He is currently an Innogen Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. Among other things, he is working on an EU funded project to improve policymakers’ ability to assess their country/region’s capacities in a high tech sector, and develop policy processes suitable to their specific context. While the project has focused on the biotechnology sector, the approach has been designed to address a variety of knowledge-intensive sectors. He is also working on a project to develop commercial pathways for stem cell therapies; working closely with the commercial arm of a large laboratory to develop business models for different possible therapies’ commercialization, and drawing the global value chains which encompass these business models. Prior to working at Innogen, he was an ESRC Research Fellow at Kingston Business School investigating skills and research policy in the UK and Ireland, and the management of knowledge workers in the pharmaceutical and IT sectors.
Before moving to the UK, Michele was a Senior Policy Advisor for the Ministry of Research and Innovation in Ontario, Canada, where he managed research funding programs targeting local universities and research institutes, as well as provided policy advice on various issues.
Michele has a PhD in Political Science from the University of Toronto, and believes that flights of fancy are an underrated mode of travel.
