Biography
I completed
my PhD study in the (then) developing field of renal cold preservation for
transplantation in 1974. Since that time, my research has been focused on
storage of cells, tissues, and organs for clinical application. This has
involved research into biochemical and functional changes induced by (1)
hypothermia where organs and tissues are stored in the temperature range of 1-4oC
in the liquid state, and by (2) cryopreservation at deep subzero temperatures,
where the confounding factor of ice formation plays a major role. I was awarded
DSc in 1998, and became Fellow of the International Society for Cryobiology in
2008.
