Guiding our mission with expertise and faith

Science Advisory
Board

Rigorous inquiry demands rigorous oversight. We are assembling an advisory board of leading minds from medical science, theology, conservation, and ethics.

All board positions are currently open. Once assembled, this interdisciplinary panel will guide our documentation standards and ensure the highest levels of scholarly integrity.

"The pursuit of truth knows no boundaries between disciplines. When we encounter phenomena that challenge our understanding - whether in a laboratory or a cathedral - the only honest response is to examine with rigor, humility, and an open mind."

The Team

Our Advisors

Eight disciplines. One mission. Each advisor brings unique expertise essential to the rigorous study of incorruptibility.

Pathology & Preservation Science

Board Chair & Lead Pathologist

University Medical School

"The preservation of human tissue beyond known biological limits demands rigorous scientific inquiry. Our role is not to confirm or deny miracles - it is to document what we observe with precision and intellectual honesty."

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Biochemist & Molecular Biologist

Research University

"At the molecular level, the preservation patterns we observe in certain incorrupt remains do not align with any known biochemical process."

Expertise

Protein degradation kineticsLipid oxidation analysisCollagen integrity studiesCellular preservation mechanisms
Now Accepting Applications
Historical Theology

Historical Theologian & Vatican Scholar

Pontifical University

"The Church has always taught that faith and reason are complementary paths to truth. The incorruptibles are invitations to deeper understanding."

Expertise

Hagiography & canonization processesTheology of the bodyPatristic sources on incorruptionVatican archival research

Archaeological Science

Archaeological Scientist & Dating Specialist

National Research Institute

"Accurate dating and material analysis are the foundation of any credible analysis. Before we can ask 'why' we must first establish 'when, where, and under what conditions.'"

Expertise

Radiocarbon datingIsotope analysisEnvironmental context assessmentArchaeological provenance
Now Accepting Applications
Conservation Science

Conservation Scientist & Preservation Expert

Heritage Conservation Institute

"Distinguishing between deliberate embalming, natural mummification, and genuinely unexplained preservation requires deep expertise in materials science."

Expertise

Embalming detection methodsNatural mummification analysisMaterials characterizationEnvironmental preservation factors
Now Accepting Applications
Medical Imaging

Radiologist & Medical Imaging Specialist

University Teaching Hospital

"Non-invasive imaging allows us to study the internal state of incorrupt remains without disturbing them - revealing organ preservation, skeletal integrity, and tissue density."

Expertise

CT & micro-CT scanningMRI tissue characterizationX-ray fluorescence analysis3D reconstruction modeling
Now Accepting Applications
Bioethics

Bioethicist & Research Ethics Advisor

University Ethics Center

"Examining sacred remains demands a framework that respects both scientific rigor and religious reverence."

Expertise

Research ethics protocolsSacred remains handling guidelinesInformed consent frameworksInterfaith sensitivity standards
Now Accepting Applications
Comparative Religion

Scholar of Comparative Religion

University Divinity School

"Incorruptibility appears across multiple Christian traditions - Catholic, Orthodox, Coptic. Understanding these phenomena in their full cultural context enriches both inquiry and meaning."

Our Approach

Advisory Framework

The following framework outlines how we plan to approach the study of incorruptibility once our advisory board is in place.

01

Historical Documentation

Comprehensive historical and theological research to establish provenance, context, and the documented record surrounding each case.

02

Non-Invasive Assessment

Where possible, non-invasive methods such as medical imaging and environmental monitoring would be used to gather data without disturbing the remains.

03

Scholarly Analysis

With ethical approval and ecclesiastical permission, detailed analysis could include material characterization, dating, and histological examination.

04

Review & Publication

All findings would be submitted for independent peer review, with the goal of publishing in open-access journals for full transparency.
