SUMMARY:NSF ATP-Bio & EARTH Joint Public Webinar featuring Dr. John Bischof & Dr. Mark Shiflett
DESCRIPTION:Improved Refrigeration for Next Generation Cryopreservation\nTuesday\, October 13\, 2026 \n3:00 PM – 4:00 PM CT | 4:00 – 5:00 PM ET | 1:00 – 2:00 PM PT \nFeaturing: Dr. John Bischof (ATP-Bio) & Dr. Mark Shiflett (EARTH) \nZoom Link \n \nAbstract \nAdvances in low-temperature biology are revolutionizing the preservation of biological systems across multiple scales (µL to 2L). The NSF Engineering Research Center ATP-Bio is developing both subzero and cryogenic preservation protocols using defined testbeds that serve as both model systems for technology development and final products for real-world applications. Achieving these goals requires high-efficiency\, environment-safe refrigeration systems. By integrating the advanced\, environmentally friendly refrigeration technologies developed by the NSF ERC EARTH\, ATP-Bio enhances its ability to design and construct optimized prototype systems for organ and tissue cryopreservation. Together\, this collaboration aims to deliver “off-the-shelf” biopreservation approaches to enable cell therapies\, transplantable tissues and organs\, organoids for biopharma\, organismal models\, and “cryo-seed” preservation for agriculture and biodiversity. By translating and commercializing these combined technologies to build scalable cryo-supply chains\, ATP-Bio and EARTH are creating transformative societal benefits\, establishing a robust global infrastructure\, and securing United States leadership in “stopping biological time.” \nAs a first step this presentation will highlight a program between the two NSF ERCs – EARTH and ATP-Bio to design and construct a prototype system for cryopreservation of organs and tissues.

SUMMARY:Society for Cryobiology: The Passive Lunar Cryorepository Project
DESCRIPTION:Could the Moon become a backup drive for life on Earth?\nYou’ve heard about plans for a lunar biobank\, but what would it actually take to preserve Earth’s biodiversity off-world? \nSpeakers Mary Hagedorn (Smithsonian Institution and ATP-Bio SAB Member)\, Heath Mills (Rhodium Scientific)\, and  Garret Fitzpatrick (Center for Astrophysics\, Harvard University) will discuss an overview of the proposed project before diving deeper into engineering aspects of the lunar mission and the effects of spaceflight on preservation of different cell types and related logistical considerations. \nREGISTER NOW\n \nATP-Bio’s work in biopreservation is reaching beyond Earth \nWe encourage the cryo-community to attend and share the Society for Cryobiology webinar\, “The Passive Lunar Cryorepository Project\,” on Wednesday\, September 23 at 12:00 p.m. CT. \nThe webinar is especially relevant to ATP-Bio’s growing impact in biodiversity preservation. NSF supplemental funding is supporting ATP-Bio investigator Mary Hagedorn’s project\, “Building Space-Ready Biopreservation Technologies: Validating Cryopreservation Under Real Space Conditions Using the International Space Station National Laboratory.” This work is helping advance technologies needed to preserve Earth’s biodiversity under the unique conditions of space and supports the broader vision of a lunar biorepository. \nDuring the webinar\, Mary Hagedorn\, Garret Fitzpatrick\, and Heath Mills will explore the scientific\, engineering\, and logistical challenges involved in making a lunar biorepository a reality—including the provocative question: Could the Moon become a backup for life on Earth? \nPlease consider attending and help amplify this event by sharing it with trainees\, students\, faculty\, colleagues\, industry partners\, and professional networks who may be interested in cryobiology\, biodiversity preservation\, space science\, and biopreservation. \n \n\n\nNSF ATP-Bio is an Engineering Research Center – Grant No. EEC 1941543

SUMMARY:Frontier Issues in Organ Transplantation: New Approaches to Saving Lives & Securing Trust
DESCRIPTION:Frontier Issues in Organ Transplantation: New Approaches to Saving Lives & Securing Trust\nOn Thursday\, June 25\, the Consortium on Law & Values at the University of Minnesota is hosting Frontier Issues in Organ Transplantation: New Approaches to Saving Lives & Securing Trust\, a free online lecture focused on emerging technologies and a changing landscape impacting and shaping the future of organ transplantation. \nLive Webinar on Zoom \nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n  \n \nOrgan transplantation is at a crossroads. Too many people die for lack of an organ. Confidence in the U.S. transplant system has been shaken. Join three top experts to debate what comes next! Will new technologies save lives — perfusion options\, xenotransplantation\, and prolonged organ cryopreservation? Will reorganizing the transplant system and modernizing the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) solidify public trust? \nThis webinar will explore the future of organ transplantation. The webinar is free and open to the public. It is co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center for Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (ATP-Bio) (grant no. EEC 1941543).

SUMMARY:The Future of Research Ethics: Threats & Opportunities.
DESCRIPTION:The history of research ethics shows that ensuring the ethical and responsible conduct of research requires investment of time\, personnel\, and resources. Major shifts under way now raise questions about the future of research ethics — how to ensure needed safeguards while taking advantage of potential opportunities. Speakers will consider the impact of significant changes in federal ethics personnel and research funding\, including debate about overhead (“indirect cost”) recovery on grants\, which at many institutions supports crucial ethics oversight. This conference will consider how to preserve key safeguards while making improvements. \nJoin national experts from multiple disciplines and perspectives to consider a wide range of questions: what is the current state of research ethics\, how can we strengthen Institutional Review Boards and research oversight\, what steps will best support research integrity and trustworthy science\, what strategies will advance ethics in community-engaged research\, and how should research ethics evolve to manage emerging technologies including artificial intelligence. \nThe University of Minnesota’s 11th Annual Research Ethics Day Conference will consider how to move forward in a changing landscape and how to adapt while maintaining the crucial elements of research ethics. As a public\, research university\, we aim to explore these vital issues with our faculty\, staff\, students\, and community\, as well as a national audience. \nThis event is free and open to the public. It’s sponsored by the University of Minnesota’s Research & Innovation Office (RIO); Consortium on Law and Values in Health\, Environment & the Life Sciences; Masonic Cancer Center; and Clinical and Translational Science Institute. \nThis event is part of Research Ethics Week (March 2-6\, 2026)\, during which the University of Minnesota focuses on professional development and best practices to ensure ethics and integrity in research.

SUMMARY:We are excited to announce our 2026 Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) - APPLY NOW
DESCRIPTION:The NSF ATP-Bio REU is a 10-week research internship targeting STEM students nationwide\, including community college students\, who have not participated in prior research. Students will spend their summer doing exciting\, cutting-edge research to help “stop biological time” and radically extend the ability to bank and transport cells\, aquatic embryos\, tissue\, skin\, whole organs\, microphysiological systems (“organs-on-a-chip”)\, and even whole organisms through a team approach to build advanced biopreservation technologies. \nATP-Bio REU students will work at the University of Minnesota\, Massachusetts General Hospital\, the University of California-Riverside\, or Texas A&M University. Lodging and travel are provided\, along with a stipend. \nProject descriptions for this summer’s program can be found here \nApply here: ATP-Bio REU Application \nApplication deadline: February 28\, 2026 \nQuestions can be directed to atp-bio-pgmgr@umn.edu
