After achieving her masters in Chemistry at The University of Manchester, Natalie evidently enjoyed the city so much she decided to stay. Natalie is a Project Manager at the Innovation Factory, overseeing Chemistry, Materials and Translational Funding. Prior to this, she went straight from university to University of Manchester spin-out business – Nanoco Technologies Ltd – being among its first employees. It was here where she worked in the research and development department, leading a team of researchers on a variety of projects involving quantum dots, and collaborating with multinational companies interested in technology commercialisation. Now, Natalie puts her Chemistry and commercialisation expertise to use at the Innovation Factory, where she has been since 2016.
