CellGenic Laboratory, Cancún
The scientific precision behind every cellular product that leaves our lab
Patricia Cruz Martínez holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Biotechnology from the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences and Molecular Biotechnology from the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (ENCB-IPN) in Mexico City, where she participated in IPN technological development projects, managed human cell culture under GLP standards, and led microbiological monitoring, mycoplasma detection, and cell viability assays.
Since May 2025, she has been the Biotechnology and Cell Manufacturing Associate at CellGenic in Cancún — Cellular Institute’s proprietary in-house laboratory. In this role, she performs the full spectrum of aseptic cellular manufacturing: from cell culture, expansion, and cryopreservation to product dosing, cold-chain logistics, quality control documentation, and GMP/COFEPRIS-compliant regulatory oversight. Every cellular therapy product that Cellular Institute administers to its patients passes through Patricia’s hands and her quality controls.

Before joining CellGenic, Patricia built her analytical and research foundation at CytoPharma de México, where she worked on veterinary vaccine development — performing protein analysis (ELISA, Dot Blot, protein quantification), experimental design, and biosafety-compliant sample preparation for livestock immunology research. This background in rigorous biological analysis and research documentation translates directly into the exacting standards she applies to every cellular product at CellGenic.
Her technical toolkit spans cell culture and sterile technique, cellular manufacturing workflows, cryopreservation and thawing, flow cytometry, microbiological monitoring, cleanroom operations, and cold-chain logistics for biological products — supported by proficiency in FlowJo, RStudio, Python, and SigmaPlot. Her commitment to GMP, GLP, and COFEPRIS compliance ensures that CellGenic operates at the highest regulatory standard available in Mexico’s regenerative medicine landscape.
From cell to patient — every step performed with precision, traceability, and care
Cellular Manufacturing & Aseptic Technique
Expert in full-cycle GMP cellular manufacturing — media preparation, cell expansion and passaging, cryopreservation, thawing, harvesting, and dose preparation for therapeutic applications under cleanroom conditions.
Cryopreservation & Cold-Chain Logistics
Skilled in cryopreservation protocols, thawing procedures, and the coordination of cold-chain logistics for temperature-sensitive biological products — ensuring cellular viability and product integrity from lab to patient.
GMP/GLP Documentation & Compliance
Maintains batch records, SOPs, inventory logs, and quality control documentation in full GMP and COFEPRIS compliance — backed by ISO 15189:2022 certification in quality management systems for clinical laboratories.
Quality Control & Microbiological Monitoring
Proficient in cell viability assays, sterility testing, mycoplasma detection by PCR, flow cytometry, and microbiological monitoring — ensuring every batch released meets rigorous biological safety and quality thresholds.
Biological Sample Processing & Analysis
Experienced in protein quantification (ELISA, Dot Blot), immunological detection methods, reagent and buffer preparation, and biological sample processing for both clinical manufacturing and research applications.
ISSCA Practical Certification Support
During ISSCA hands-on certification sessions, Patricia demonstrates live cellular manufacturing processes to physician trainees — showing real protocols in the CellGenic laboratory and bridging scientific rigor with medical education.
