Mark Woodward

Mark Woodward, founder of Wake Bio and former AI researcher at Google Brain, dives deep into the world of cryoprotectants. He reveals how machine learning is being used to discover chemical combinations that protect biological tissues during freezing. Starting with zebrafish, Mark's ambitious goal is to achieve whole-body human preservation. He discusses the challenges of transitioning from lab to reality, rapid warming methods, and the ongoing debate between biological reanimation and uploading. With a five-year target for preserving adult mice and a ten-year vision for humans, the future of cryonics is looking bright.
