Meet the calorimeter!
Wonjin is standing next to a differential scanning calorimeter, a nifty tool in cryobiology. It measures how heat moves in and out of a sample.
By tracking heat flow, we can pinpoint the temperature at which a sample freezes or safely vitrifies into a glass like state - letting us study how cryoprotective agents like M22 behave across temperatures.
The calorimeter is already in the lab and the team is putting it to work- but there’s still an open chapter on offsetting its funding. An up to $25,000 matching donation campaign is still active, so donating today will double the impact of your gift.
