Melissa Berthelot

As a Knowledge Transfer Manager for Investor Communities, I support wider engagement with private investors focused on Health and Agriculture with the aim of increasing private investment into UK innovation in this sector.

Before joining Innovate UK KTN, I worked in a medical device startup for the support of discharged patients after undergoing high-risk surgical operations with the aim of reducing occurrences of unexpected readmissions and additional emergency care.

I have a PhD in medical device development, an MRes in medical robotics, MSc in advanced software development and a background in electronic electrical engineering and chemistry. My interests lie in the use of deep tech in innovation toward improving quality of life.
