About Xiaoxi Wei

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!
