Summary
Alan Ponce is an associate researcher with 11 years of hands-on experience in bio-pharmaceutical labs, currently contributing to AllerGene AI Therapeutics while teaching adjunct courses at multiple Miami universities. He combines assay development and validation expertise—particularly flow cytometry for CAR-T and IVD diagnostic reagent development—with operational leadership in laboratory management and biosafety oversight. Alan has a track record of translating complex protocols into robust SOPs and quality systems, and has led technology transfer and root-cause investigations using bioinformatics and statistical tools. His background spans research in genetic diversity and marine algal systems to commercial business development for specialized reagents, giving him a rare blend of academic, regulatory, and client-facing experience. Trained at Johns Hopkins (MS, Biotechnology) and FIU (BS Biology), he is comfortable moving between bench science, teaching, and compliance roles. Colleagues describe him as a practical problem-solver who leverages teaching experience to communicate technical concepts clearly to diverse stakeholders.
