About Ionic
Cytometry experiments often contain powerful information that can drive the development of medicines and improve clinical understanding of complex biomarkers and diseases. At Ionic, our clients rely on well-designed cytometry experiments to elucidate data insights that have the potential to build a higher standard of patient care.
At Ionic, we support researchers with custom cytometry strategies designed to solve immune profiling and monitoring challenges that commonly obstruct research. Our team has a personal mission to drive new insights and developments in the immuno-oncology space.
We build systems for running and analyzing complex cytometry experiments. Our goal is to empower researchers to make timely, transformative discoveries in immune system-driven diseases with custom cytometry data analysis.
Ionic’s mission is to improve the quality of science performed with high-parameter cytometry technologies to ensure results can be translated into improvements in patient care.
Our Founder & CEO
Eric Haas, MEng.
As a biomedical engineer and cytometry expert, Eric lives for the a-ha moment when data reveals the novel signature of a disease or pattern of treatment response in a clinical trial. This passion led him to found Ionic.
For Eric, pushing the boundaries of what data can teach is personal. He lost his father to colorectal cancer in 2021. The experience of caring for him helped him to see the connection between bench and bedside, and inspires his work every day.
​
Prior to founding Ionic in 2020, Eric honed his skills as a lab supervisor for the mass cytometry core at Dana Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), where he improved utilization and reduced costs. He is also the co-author of the first paper to evaluate CAR T-cells from a metabolic perspective and the creator of a seminar series on cytometry data analysis to make the topic more accessible to researchers.
When he’s not helping clients with cytometry projects, Eric enjoys eradicating invasive plants, reading philosophical and scientific non-fiction, and whipping up gourmet meals for his family.
