Leadership in Cryopreservation Literature
Outcome/Accomplishment
Researchers at the NSF-funded Engineering Research Center (NSF ERC) for Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (NSF ATP-Bio), co-led by the University of Minnesota and the Massachusetts General Hospital, pursue pioneering advances in cryopreservation. Serving as Guest Editors, John Bischof, ATP-Bio Director, and Mehmet Toner, ATP-Bio Co-director, curated a special volume of The Annual Review of Heat Transfer to showcase the field’s most important developments, especially since the inception of ATP-Bio.
Impact/Benefits
This field has evolved rapidly in recent years, and ATP-Bio’s leadership in heat transfer is at the heart of the advancements. This series has been described as a must-read for researchers in biomedical engineering, regenerative medicine, and thermal sciences.
Explanation/Background
Seven of the nine chapters were co-authored by 20 ATP-Bio researchers. They cover the latest advances in isochoric freezing, nanowarming and electromagnetic rewarming, organ vitrification, cryogenic instrumentation, thermal modeling and more. Some ATP-Bio alumni have since implanted cryobiology centers in their new institutions (USF and Purdue).
