Dr. '''Kim Eric Drexler''' is an American engineer and [[Cryonics|cryonicist]] best known for studies of the potential of molecular nanotechnology.

His paper "Molecular engineering: An approach to the development of general capabilities for molecular manipulation" (1981) is the first one suggesting that nanotechnology could reverse freezing injury.<ref name="Open Letter">[https://www.biostasis.com/scientists-open-letter-on-cryonics/ SCIENTISTS’ OPEN LETTER ON CRYONICS]</ref> Chapter 9, "A Door to the Future", in his book ''[[Engines of Creation]]'' (1986) is specifically about [[biostasis]] and cryonics.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060615004725/http://www.e-drexler.com/d/06/00/EOC/EOC_Chapter_9.html A Door to the Future]</ref>

As of 2001, he was a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the [[Alcor Life Extension Foundation]].<ref>[https://cryonicsarchive.org/docs/cryonics-magazine-2001-02.pdf Alcor: Reaching for Tomorrow 2001 #2] (page 20 of the file)</ref> He is a signatory of the [[Scientists' Open Letter on Cryonics]], having signed it on March 19, 2004.<ref name="Open Letter" />

He is signed up for [[cryopreservation]],<ref>[https://books.google.fi/books?id=4EAw-tcmhsMC&q=peter+thiel+cryonics&pg=PA214&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Drexler%20cryonics&f=false Singularity Rising] (page 215)</ref> most likely with Alcor.
