Michele Cunneen
Michele Cunneen’s career in Lab Animal Medicine started with a part time job in college which led to the realization that a scientist who understood the animal models, animals, and the researchers’ needs could have an impact on the quality of science and the advancement of animal welfare. Michele has spent her 26-year career building animal facilities and animal care programs from the ground up at major academic and biotech companies. In 2003 Michele decided to take her knowledge and help start-ups have all the advantages of an entire animal care group without the overhead. Today, Michele, along with a small group of industry experts, provides these resources to companies of all sizes.
