Team

After my education as a druggist, I studied biotechnology in Wädenswil. During my studies I specialized in cell culture and process engineering. 

After graduation, I got the opportunity to continue working at the university in the field of cell culture and process engineering and to do research for smaller and larger biotech companies in Switzerland. In addition, I was involved in teaching and training students and was able to build up further experience as a laboratory manager. Besides, I completed a Master of Advanced Studies in economic engineering and built-up skills in sales, project management and business administration.

In 2015, I got the chance to switch to sales and application support for Applikon products. Since 2020, I am responsible for sales and management at Resea Biotec. 

I live in the countryside with my husband and enjoy spending time with  family and friends. I am a committed member of different smaller associations and clubs and volunteer to organize local events. I like to travel and I love discovering the world – whether by sailboat, on skis, by bike, or whatever gets me from A to B. 

Here you find a video with more information about me!

After my apprenticeship as a machine tool builder, my professional career took me to the field of special machine tools. Working as a service engineer, I was working with our customers in Europe and North America. I took up an interesting opportunity from our distributor in Wisconsin. I spent 10 years in the USA most of my time on the road. In order to have a better quality of life with less travelling time, I ended my stay abroad.

Back in Switzerland, I worked as a project manager for many years and was able to maintain and use my connections in the USA.
My training as a technical merchant and sales manager led me into the very interesting but also demanding vending sector. Health problems forced me to reconsider my ambitions, career and the value of private life.

Since 2014, I have been working with Applikon products, installing and servicing our customers equipment in Switzerland. Since 2020, I am co-owner of Resea Biotec GmbH and responsible for service and management tasks. 

At home we have our little “farm” with horse, donkey, pony, dog, cats, geese and chickens. My family, good friends and a great job are the perfect “work – life balance” for me.

After my education as a chemical laboratory technician, I spent many years as a mother. To bring some extra sparkle to these years, I completed various further education and training courses in the social and diaconal field during this time. Since my interests are manifold, I have always looked for new challenges and enjoyed taking them on. This also included working as a service technician at Resea Biotec. Since 2016, I have been working 20% part time in this function and I enjoy this work and the new contacts it has brought me.

My name is Michele Rentsch and I am a service engineer at Resea Biotec. After my education as a polymechanic, I finished the Higher Education in Automation.

I have been working at Resea Biotec since autumn 2021 and I am just getting to know the exciting world of the biotech industry. In the past, I worked for several years in the field of mechanics and electrics and thus got the necessary skills for the tasks as a service engineer at Resea Biotec.

For recreation, I like to spend time in the mountains, either hiking or just enjoying the freedom. 

I’m a Biotechnologist by degree and worked several years as Research Assistant at a university in the field of cell culture and process engineering. Since 2020 I worked in the Biotechnology Industry  as Bioprocess Specialist and got familiar with a wide variety of bioprocessing technologies for vaccines, biologics, cell and gene therapy with a special focus on single-use technologies. In spring 2024 I joined Resea Biotec as Application Specialist. 

I love plants, mountains and coffee. By chance you’ll find me trailrunning in summer or ski touring in winter.
