Rapidly unfreeze and revive a mammal

With Alex Zhavoronkov


Date

Alex Zhavoronkov, CEO of Insilico Medicine, challenges the cryonics field to revive a mammal from cryostasis. Cryonics is the science of vitrifying and reviving living tissue for preservation. Currently cells and some tissues can be revived, but no organ or mammal has been cryogenically preserved and resuscitated yet. Alex is interested in noble gasses and their potential to achieve rapid cooling and rapid heating under certain pressure and temperature conditions. Figuring this out could help solve the problem of ice crystal formation during cryostasis and reanimation procedures, paving the way for reanimation of a small mammal after preservation.
