Summary

Join us for a deep-dive conversation with Dr Emil Kendziorra, CEO of Tomorrow.bio, as we explore the cutting edge of cryopreservation and medical biostasis. Dr Kendziorra, who began his career in cancer research with a summa cum laude degree from the University of Göttingen, shares his remarkable journey from academic science to entrepreneurship, and ultimately to founding Tomorrow.bio - a company he considers his life’s work. In this interview, he discusses the motivations behind his pivot from traditional longevity research to the frontier of cryomedicine, the operational and emotional lessons learned from cryopreserving over 20 human patients and 10 pets, and his vision for making this technology more accessible in the future.
