Thrust Area 2 supports the ability to cryopreserve biological systems by preventing and/or mitigating ice crystallization of their water content during the cooling process even in systems as cold as -150 ºC, through strategic use of CPAs and manipulating the cooling conditions themselves. Three cryopreservation regimes are studied in ATP-Bio projects.
Thrust Area 2 overviews 15 projects involving researchers at MGH, UMN, UC Berkeley, TAMU, and UC Riverside of which many are interinstitutional. TA2 aims to reach success in the following milestones:
NSF ATP-Bio is an Engineering Research Center This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. EEC 1941543
The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
