About this Event

Organ transplantation is the most effective treatment for patients suffering from acute and chronic organ failure, yet the shortage of viable organs results in long waiting lists. Current preservation methods can only keep organs viable for up to 24 hours, making timely transplants challenging. Cryopreservation, a cutting-edge technology that preserves biomaterials at low temperatures to halt biological and chemical reactions, offers a promising solution. Dr. Ren's team is at the forefront of this field, developing a novel electromagnetic-based rewarming technology that aims to extend organ viability to years, ultimately improving access to transplantation and saving lives.
