Erik B. Finger

Erik Finger, a transplant surgeon and research scientist, leads an interdisciplinary team pioneering cryopreservation technologies. Collaborating with Mechanical Engineering experts, they preserve donor organs in a glass-like, ice-free state and safely rewarm them using nanotechnology. This innovation could revolutionize transplantation by enabling an on-demand organ supply and improving donor-recipient matching, patient preparation, and organ utilization. Their work aims to enhance organ durability, transplant success rates, and patient outcomes globally, transforming the future of transplantation.
