We are a group of UK researchers focused on cryonics and cryopreservation. Our network was established in 2015 to promote research on cryopreservation and discuss its potential applications, including the idea of cryopreserving whole humans, commonly known as cryonics. Our activities are supported by several distinguished UK and international advisors:
Dr Bauer is a computational neuroscientist with a research focus on neural development. He is a Lecturer in Computational Biology and Research Fellow in Computational Cryopreservation at the Department of Computer Science, University of Surrey.
Prof Benford is a Professor at the Physics & Astronomy School of Physical Sciences at the University of California, San Diego, USA. His research interests include turbulence and magnetic structures in astrophysical contexts.
Dr Bentley is a computational neuroscientist and senior lecturer at Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK, and a member of Magdalene College, University of Cambridge, UK. His research includes connectomics, the study of neural circuits, and the classification of age-related diseases.
Prof Csoka works on the molecular biology of ageing and is a biogerontologist at Howard University, Washington DC, USA.
Dr de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist from Cambridge, UK. He is the President and Chief Science Officer of the Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation.
Prof de Magalhães leads the Genomics of Ageing and Rejuvenation Lab at the University of Birmingham, UK. His research includes studying the genetic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of ageing.
Prof Hanson is an economist at George Mason University in Virginia, USA, and a research associate at Oxford University, UK. His research interests include prediction markets and social implications of future technologies.
Prof Harris is a bioethicist and philosopher. He is the Director of the Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation at the University of Manchester, UK, and also has an appointment at King's College London.
Dr Hayworth is a neuroscientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Farm Research Campus in Ashburn, VA, USA.
Dr Moen works in applied ethics in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oslo.
Dr Merkle is a computer scientist and nanotechnology researcher at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing in Palo Alto, CA, USA.
Dr Monaco is the CSO at the Center for Dynamical Systems Studies (CDSS) and a Head Scientist at 21st Century Medicine. Current research includes demonstrating that learned neural patterns in hippocampal tissue are functionally preserved after cryopreservation.
Dr Sandberg is a computational neuroscientist and a researcher at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, UK.
