We’ve raised $100M+ to date, we are developing reversible cryopreservation for patients in need of donor organs, and we are hiring 🫀🎉🚀

Pressing pause on biological time, for those who need it most.
- Replying to @untillabsThe central challenge of cryopreservation was never just preservation, it’s also safely coming back. Until Mark 1 shows organ-scale rewarming no longer needs industrial power budgets. A real step toward cryopreservation in transplant centers. Full writeup:
- Replying to @untillabsThere's some serious rocket-launch-control-room energy in the lab when we rewarm an organ 🤩🚀 4/5🧵
- Replying to @untillabsBut rewarming must be even faster than cooling, because the temperature window where ice begins to *extend* comes after the temperature window where ice begins to nucleate. For this reason, we’ve engineered our rewarming devices to optimize two controls on heating power: Field
- Replying to @untillabs⚠️The danger zone of ice formation is a temperature range between 0°C and -130°C where ice is most likely to nucleate. When cooling an organ to cryogenic storage temperatures, the organ must safely pass through this range with minimal ice nucleation. A fast cooling rate and good
- Did you catch our latest blog post on our rewarming machine? 👀 With our magnet, a kidney can successfully traverse the danger zone of ice formation in under a minute, using only a few kilowatts. That means it can operate off of standard hospital outlets⚡️ All of our devices
- We had such a lovely time meeting everyone last night at our screening of Anwar. Grateful to @FawazAM and @huntercoledavis for an incredible Q&A, and to everyone who came out with such thoughtful questions and curiosity 🧠✨

getting through the danger zone for ice formation in under a minute, with a device that only draws a few kW (work done on a pig kidney, same scale as a human kidney)
We’re putting the “reversible” in Reversible Cryopreservation 🧡 Our latest post breaks down how our rewarming process works and shares new human organ-scale rewarming data we’re excited to finally show. Check it out in the link below 👇 - Until reposted
I'm excited to introduce Mark 1, Until's electromagnet for rapidly rewarming organs from cryogenic storage temperatures. We set out to scale magnetic nanoparticle warming to human-scale organs while keeping the coil losses low enough for hospital use.

- If you're eager to shape what comes next, don’t miss this! Come meet the Until Labs team at our screening of Anwar in SF on May 13. Film & conversation with people thinking seriously about the future. Link to the application form is below.We’re hosting a screening of Anwar on May 13th in SF in hopes of meeting high caliber individuals who our interested in joining our mission. Anwar is a sci-fi short film that explores how two humans grapple with life-altering technology. We’ll be joined by director @FawazAM for
