Rarely do you get to experience a true full-circle moment like this. Gerald Brandacher was my PhD advisor—the person who pushed me to think beyond what’s been done and focus on what’s possible in transplantation. Now, we get to build the future of organ preservation together at Until This work has always been about one thing: turning time from a limitation into a tool. And there’s no one better to help lead that mission. Energized about what is next! #Transplantation #OrganPreservation #Biotech #Innovation #Until

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Gerald Brandacher as our Chief Medical Officer at Until Labs! 👏 🎉 A pioneer in transplant surgery, Dr. Brandacher brings decades of leadership at the forefront of transplant technology. His work has focused on extending organ viability and preserving complex biological function beyond historical surgical time limits, including recent advances in sub-zero organ preservation that dramatically expand how long organs can remain viable outside the body. He contributed to the first bilateral hand and forearm transplants in the U.S. while at UPMC, and later served on the core surgical team for the first total male genital transplant at Johns Hopkins. His work has helped redefine what can be restored to the human body through vascularized composite allotransplantation. We’re thrilled to bring his pioneering spirit to the next frontier of transplantation: reversible cryopreservation, making time a tool in medicine.
