OUR MISSION
Engineering Curiosity Through the 

Senses & Hands-On Learning Experiences

At CellTech —operating out of the CellTech studio in FL/WA —our mission is to transform how curious learners experience the world of food, exercise, wellness living, and the gut microbiome by breaking down the walls between science, technology, and the arts. We offer highly focused, various creativity and consulting workshops limited to just four participants, ensuring an engaging, hands-on learning environment specifically designed for ages 14 and above.

Created and led by Dr. Johannes (James) Paul Johnson-Martinez (Dr. JJ), a polymathic educator and scientist, the CellTech curriculum is built on a unique foundation of industry and academic expertise. The programming is directly inspired by Dr. Johnson-Martinez’s four years of experience as an R&D Project Manager and Engineer at PepsiCo (the largest food and beverage company in North America, and #2 globally) pioneering novel food chemistry techniques, combined with his internationally acclaimed PhD research at the University of Washington in Bioengineering and Data Science, where he focused on healthy aging, nutrition, and the gut microbiome. He worked under Dr. David Baker (Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2025) during his graduate studies and studied at the institute where Dr. Mary Brunkow was awarded her Nobel Prize in Medicine 2025 as well.

Read more about Dr. JJ's internationally renowned research published in 2024 in Cell Reports Medicine, which generated over 200 worldwide news articles including CNN, BBC, the TODAY Show, and NBC News. He was also a keynote speaker at the worldwide microbiome conference in Rome, Italy in 2024 (IHMC).
