🧠🎶 Basslines of Preservation

Phlegmatic Dogs’ Next Level thrives on pushing boundaries in sound, layering grit and rhythm to reimagine what bass music can be—and that same spirit of escalation resonates with Max Hodak’s leap from brain‑tech at Neuralink to organ preservation. Just as the track declares a sonic “next level,” Hodak’s new venture seeks a biological next level: extending the life of human organs through innovation. Both are about transformation—taking what exists, remixing it with bold energy, and creating futures that pulse with possibility.

Max Hodak, former president of Neuralink, is now steering his biotech startup Science Corporation toward organ preservation.

His new division aims to extend the viability of human organs, reshaping transplantation and life‑support technologies.

🧠 From Brain Interfaces to Organs

Science Corporation, founded in 2021 by Hodak, first focused on neural interfaces and vision‑restoring implants. Now, the company is pivoting to organ preservation, applying its expertise in biotechnology to a new frontier of longevity.

⚙️ Rethinking Perfusion Systems

Current organ perfusion machines, like ECMO, are bulky, expensive, and limited in duration. Hodak’s team is developing a compact, portable system that can sustain organs far longer, aiming to make preservation more accessible and affordable.

🐇 Early Breakthroughs

Science has already kept rabbit kidneys alive outside the body for up to 48 hours. The company hopes to extend this viability to a month by early 2026, a leap that could revolutionize transplant logistics.

🌍 Ethical and Global Impact

The inspiration for this project came from a tragic case of a young patient awaiting a lung transplant. Hodak envisions organ preservation as part of a broader longevity toolkit, reducing ethical dilemmas and expanding access worldwide.

✨ Future Vision

Looking ahead, Science Corporation plans to integrate sensors and automated controls into its perfusion systems. Hodak’s ultimate goal is to make organ preservation as routine as checking luggage, transforming healthcare and extending human life.
