ADANCED TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PRESERVATION OF BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

preservING LIVING SYSTEMS FOR ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL

ATP-Bio aims to “stop biological time” radically extending the ability to bank and transport cells, aquatic embryos, tissue, skin, whole organs, microphysiological systems, and even whole organs.

ATP-Bio is the leading provider of innovative solutions in the field of cell banking and transportation. Join us on our journey to revolutionize the way cells, embryos, tissues, and organs are preserved and transported. Follow us on social media to stay updated on the latest breakthroughs and advancements. Together, we can stop biological time and make a lasting impact.

  • To make transformative discoveries, train a diverse workforce, and connect resources and partnerships to ethically translate technologies for the storage and distribution of living biological systems.

  • To stop biological time, allowing living products to be readily available across the globe to advance healthcare, biodiversity, and food supply and sustainability.

  • ATP-Bio leverages exceptional resources at each of ATP-Bio’s partner institutions to integrate five goals —Convergent Research (CR), Engineering Workforce Development (EWD), Diversity and Culture of Inclusion (DCI), Innovation Ecosystem (IE), and Ethics & Public Policy (EPP)—into a cohesive mission.
