General Information
On behalf of the Program Committee, we warmly welcome you to the Society for Cryobiology’s CRYO2023 conference to be held on the beautiful University of Minnesota (UMN) campus.
2023 is a very special year for the Society for Cryobiology. This year, we celebrate 60 years of Annual Meetings which bring together individuals with diverse expertise to deliver new cryopreservation technologies with immense societal impacts in broad sectors ranging from human health to biodiversity. While we look back proudly on our history, our eye is also firmly on the future of cryobiology, and this will be one of the defining themes of the meeting.
Minneapolis is well suited to host CRYO2023. UMN is home to the new Research Center Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (ATP-Bio), led by the Institute for Engineering in Medicine and the Center for Engineering in Medicine and Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital. Furthermore, Minneapolis is one of the largest Health Tech clusters in the US, and is home to a range of relevant health and life science technologies including medical devices, health care, pharma & biotech, health IT, and animal sciences. In fact, the Life Sciences are so entrenched in Minneapolis that the city is colloquially referred to as ‘Medical Alley’.
At this conference, we aim to celebrate a wide range of achievements in cryopreservation, including making transplantable organs/tissues available to those who need them, decreasing the time and cost of drug development, helping to feed the world, protect living organisms from extinction, and more. This meeting will be a platform for us to reflect on our past achievements, share new insights and ideas, have constructive discussions, extend our networks and collaborations, and most importantly push forward into our next and greatest era of cryopreservation research.
Sincerely,
