Life is too short. But it does not have to be.

Mars is far away and dead. But it does not have to be.

I live for a radiant and meaningful future and live on scientific and entrepreneurial endeavors.

When I was 8 y/o, my all-time hero, Grandpa Kun became a victim of liver failure who did not get a transplant on time. This then became my life-time commitment to enable on-demand global organ banks by extending the critical time.

While low temperature holds the door to extend time, I believe Nature shows us the way, and Chemistry is the key.

I started X-Therma as a first step to solve bottlenecks that hold back all regenerative medicine. With our proprietary nature-inspired chemistry, critical life-saving cell therapies (e.g. CAR-T), 3D printed tissues, and organs for transplant now can be stored without any detrimental damage at sub-zero temperature. We enable these living medicines to be true off-the-shelf products for fresh, never frozen quality.

I am here to support the heroes to save and rejuvenate millions of lives and bring human footprints to deep space. Look forward to connecting with you and proudly sharing our missions!
