The newest installment of the NSF ATP‑Bio Public Webinar Series is now available to view online on YouTube.
Webinar Date: Tuesday February 3, 2026
“Advances in cryoprotective agent (CPA) delivery, optimization, and screening; how these approaches are improving preservation of complex biological systems—from cells to tissues to whole organs”
Speakers:
- Rasha Al-attar (MGH): Crossing Biological Barriers: Simple Cryoprotectant Loading for Zebrafish Embryo Preservation
- Natalie Livingston (MGH): A microfluidic chip for high throughput loading of cryoprotective agents into therapeutic allogeneic immune cells
- Zonghu Han (UMN): Improving Organ CPA Perfusion via a Multithermic Strategy
This session highlighted cutting-edge advances in biopreservation, cryopreservation, and low-temperature biology, showcasing how researchers across the ATP-Bio network are developing technologies to preserve living systems—from cells and tissues to whole organs—with real-world impact in medicine, conservation, and beyond.
