Scientist Turned Entrepreneur with Founder Michelle Tu, Ph.D.

Growing up, Michelle Tu had a creative spirit and curious eye for all things business—but she was born to immigrant parents in the 80's who really wanted her to focus on having a stable career profession. She decided to focus on her education and school work, and fell in love with math and science. Michelle then went on to study biomedical engineering in college and completed her Ph.D. in cell biology. Soon after, she realized how much she had been pushing her creative spirit aside, so she took the leap. She's learned, she's failed, and she's flourished. And it's all brought her to where she is today.
