Also called: Cryopreservation Scientist
Studies how to freeze cells, tissues, and organs and bring them back to life.
Tests new antifreeze molecules that keep ice crystals from shredding cells, and works on ways to freeze donor organs so they can be stored longer.
Estimate; industry pays more than universities.
Approximate: anchored on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for a broader job group.
Doctorate (PhD), about 10 years after high school. PhD in biology or a related field, often plus a postdoc.
Ways in: 4-year college, Graduate school. Training cost: $15k – $60k.
Majors to look at: Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology.
Growing faster than average. Tracks BLS life scientists (medical scientists and biochemists grow faster than average).
Medium risk for 10 years. AI screens antifreeze molecules on computers; freezing and reviving real tissues and organs stays bench work.
Classes: AP Chemistry, AP Biology, Physics.
Official data: O*NET occupation 19-1029.
