research organizations
The Institute for Neural Cryobiology
"The major goal of the Institute for Neural Cryobiology is to perfect methods by which brain tissue may be preserved at low temperature without injury, and later, rewarmed to normal temperature and restored to full functionality."
"The Prometheus Project is a major research initiative to produce fully-reversible, long-term suspended animation and make this available as an elective medical procedure for the benefit of all those who love life and want more of it"

forums and advocacy

CryoNet is a network which coordinates communication among those interested in cryonics activities, ideas and research.  This collaboration is primarily by way of a Mailing List it sponsors. The Mailing List archive is available on the site as well. CryoNet is sponsored by the Life Extension Society.
