Scaling Cryopreservation with Until Co-Founder and CEO Laura Deming

Laura Deming, co-founder and CEO of Until, discusses the ambitious goal of making reversible cryopreservation a reality. She outlines the company's vision, starting with preserving human organs to revolutionize transplantation and progressing towards whole-body medical hibernation, allowing patients to "pause" biological time and await future cures. The conversation delves into the core scientific challenges, reframing cryopreservation as an engineering problem of heat transfer and managing ice formation, and explores why this promising field has been historically underfunded.

Fuzzy Extractors are Practical

Amey Shukla from the University of Connecticut presents a novel system for biometric key derivation that closes the long-standing gap between the theory and practice of device-level authentication. The talk introduces a practical fuzzy extractor system, "Zeta then Lock," which, combined with an integrated machine learning feature extractor, achieves 105 bits of entropy with a 92% true accept rate for iris biometrics, overcoming the "more errors than entropy" problem that plagued previous designs.
