Cryonics: fantasy or a bridge to the future | João Pedro de Magalhães | TEDxImperialCollege

João shares details about the concept of cryonics and its importance to human beings. Dr de Magalhaes graduated in Microbiology in 1999 from the Escola Superior de Biotecnologia in his hometown of Porto, Portugal, and then obtained his PhD in 2004 from the University of Namur in Belgium. Following a postdoc at Harvard Medical School, in 2008 Dr de Magalhaes was recruited to the University of Liverpool. He is now a reader and leads the Integrative Genomics of Ageing Group (http://pcwww.liv.ac.uk/~aging/). His lab studies the ageing process and how we can manipulate it to fend off age-related diseases and improve human health. Dr de Magalhaes also coordinates the UK Cryonics and Cryopreservation Research Network (http://www.cryonics-research.org.uk/). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
