Diana Teresa
Navarrete Landero
Biotechnology Associate & Cell Manufacturing Technologist · CellGenic
A Biotechnology graduate with hands-on experience in GMP-compliant cellular manufacturing, procurement, and supply chain coordination, Diana Navarrete Landero was part of the founding team that established CellGenic — Cellular Institute’s in-house GMP cell manufacturing facility in Cancún. Her unique combination of laboratory expertise, cross-cultural communication, and operational logistics makes her a cornerstone of CellGenic’s daily manufacturing and supply operations.

CellGenic Laboratory, Cancún
From lab founding to daily manufacturing — science, logistics, and innovation in one role
Diana Teresa Navarrete Landero holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Biotechnology from Universidad Anáhuac Cancún and brings a distinctly international perspective to her scientific work. She participated in the ERASMUS+ BIP Butterfly Project at Zealand Academy in Roskilde, Denmark — a cross-cultural innovation program focused on sustainability and circular economy models — and completed a semester exchange at Universidad Anáhuac Mexico (North Campus). Before joining CellGenic, she built a multidimensional professional foundation: from andrology laboratory work at New Life México and coral reef conservation at UNAM’s Institute of Marine Sciences, to medical tourism coordination at IREGA and F&B laboratory support at Kunko Súper Yerba Mate.
Since May 2025, Diana has been part of CellGenic — the Global Stem Cells Group’s Cancún division — where she holds one of its most foundational achievements: as part of the team that coordinated the establishment of a GMP cell manufacturing facility in Mexico. Her daily work spans the full manufacturing cycle of Wharton’s Jelly-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs), procurement and supply chain coordination, regulatory documentation, and marketing collaboration.

Diana’s background is unusually broad for a laboratory scientist — and that breadth is precisely what makes her invaluable at CellGenic. Her experience in CRM at IREGA, market research at Kunko, environmental project management at Centinelas del Agua, and cross-cultural leadership at ERASMUS+ all converge in a role that demands not just aseptic technique, but also procurement coordination, supply chain oversight, regulatory documentation, and interdepartmental collaboration with the marketing team.
Her scientific passion is grounded in a clear vision: leveraging biotechnology to drive regenerative medicine applications within a fast-growing, innovation-first industry. As one of the scientists who helped bring CellGenic’s GMP facility to life in Mexico, Diana is not just a technician — she is a co-architect of the laboratory infrastructure that makes Cellular Institute’s cellular therapies possible.
Laboratory science, supply chain, and cross-functional innovation — all in one role
WJ-MSC Cell Manufacturing
Expert in aseptic manufacture of Wharton’s Jelly-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs) under GMP protocols — including media preparation, expansion, passaging, cryopreservation, thawing, and cell harvesting for regenerative medicine applications.
Procurement & Supply Chain
Oversees procurement logistics and supply chain for biological materials, reagents, and laboratory supplies — managing both commercial and internal stock, identifying trusted suppliers, and coordinating import/export of temperature-sensitive materials.
GMP Documentation & COFEPRIS Compliance
Maintains batch records, SOPs, and laboratory activity documentation in full GMP and COFEPRIS compliance — supporting quality management systems and traceability for every cellular product manufactured at CellGenic.
Innovation Scouting & Technology Sourcing
Actively identifies emerging technologies, novel biological materials, and entrusted suppliers to foster innovation and drive strategic growth at CellGenic — bridging scientific advancement with operational and commercial opportunity.
Cross-Cultural Collaboration
ERASMUS+-trained in cross-cultural communication and intercultural project leadership. Experienced working in diverse international environments — from Danish innovation labs to reef conservation projects and multinational biotech supply chains.
Marketing & Educational Content
Collaborates with the GSCG marketing department to create educational and promotional content about cellular therapy — bridging laboratory science with patient-facing communication for Cellular Institute’s global audience.

A GMP-ready scientific toolkit with international range
CellGenic is one of the only clinics in Latin America with a fully certified in-house GMP laboratory. Diana was part of building it. That’s not a credential on paper — it’s a lived understanding of what it takes to create and maintain a manufacturing environment that meets the highest biological and regulatory standards available.
