 The projects within this area of research fall into two categories: cryopreservation, and drying of cells and tissues. Most of the cryopreservation work is focused on using vitrification techniques as a means of avoiding the formation of intracellular ice. In both the cryo and drying work, we are using sugars such as trehalose to mimic the natural processes that allow anhydrobiotic organisms to survive.
Our current projects include:
- preservation of sperm and oocytes
- preservation of stem cells
- understanding the bioenergetic, metabolic, and transcriptional responses to cryopreservation
- molecular dynamics of cellular cooling
- preservation of tissues and organs
