Cryopreservation Workshop
The NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) invites you to register for an upcoming virtual workshop on “Cryopreservation and Other Preservation Approaches for Animal Models”. The workshop organized by ORIP in collaboration with several NIH Institutes—including NCI, NHLBI, NIA, NICHD, and NIGMS—will be conducted as a series of virtual sessions beginning September 6, 2024, and continuing into 2025.
This workshop will provide a critical platform for experts to discuss the needs of cryopreservation and other preservation approaches for widely used animal models in biomedical research, with a specific focus on current and emerging technologies. The primary objective is to advance the preservation, maintenance, and sharing of these essential models, ultimately strengthening the infrastructure that supports groundbreaking research.
The event is free. You can register for specific sessions or the entire series at:
