Background

About Michael Lucero

As a dedicated biotech research professional with over two decades of experience, I specialize in preclinical animal care, regulatory compliance, and vivarium operations across pharmaceutical and academic settings. I’ve had the privilege of supporting groundbreaking research at top-tier institutions like Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and UCSD, consistently ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare and biosafety. With a strong foundation in GLP, and IACUC compliance, I’ve managed BSL-2 and quarantine facilities, led successful inspection initiatives, and trained teams to uphold best practices in laboratory animal science. My LAT certification, combined with Lean Six Sigma credentials, reflects my ongoing commitment to process improvement, operational excellence, and ethical research. I thrive in collaborative environments and bring a hands-on, solutions-oriented approach to every challenge. As I explore new opportunities in the Boston/Cambridge area, I’m particularly excited about roles in In Vitro/Ex Vivo research, clinical studies, or emerging therapeutic areas.
