This year, a new Advisory Board was welcomed to the Institute of Entrepreneurship. Among the ranks of the amazing Miami alumni and influential leaders in entrepreneurship on the board is Amy Altman, Chief Operating Officer at Reliant Immune Diagnostics and President of the John W. Altman Charitable Foundation.

With a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Microbiology from Miami University and a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from Vanderbilt University, Altman was bound to make waves in the medical industry from the beginning. Before joining Reliant, Altman spent ten years at the Austin-based biotechnology engineering company, Luminex Corporation, serving as Vice President for Biodefense and Protein Diagnostics until 2017. The Corporation specializes in developing, marketing, and manufacturing proprietary biological testing technologies.

She is now COO at Austin-based Reliant Immune Diagnostics, which markets a complete consumer-driven health platform that provides testing, diagnosing, and monitoring solutions that include a suite of diagnostic tests, AI-driven diagnostic tools, and personal health data tracking. In addition to her work in this new position, Altman is also President of the John W. Altman Charitable Foundation.
