CRYO2019 will take place at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside, 1355 North Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101, USA.
CRYO2019 is the 56th Annual Meeting of the Society for Cryobiology, making our meeting the world’s longest-running and foremost annual meeting of cryobiology professionals. Our meeting spans the entirety of this multi-disciplinary field, covering both practical and theoretical aspects of low temperature biology and thermal medicine.
Set on Southern California’s glittering coastline at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside, CRYO2019 will include plenary sessions, invited and submitted abstract speakers, poster sessions, networking, and social events.
We look forward to welcoming you to San Diego!
About the Society for Cryobiology
Founded in Maryland in 1964, the Society for Cryobiology was the world’s first non-profit society for low temperature biology. Today, our members are at the forefront of the world’s most exciting research. They are leading the charge to solve the problem of human organ storage for transplantation; at the forefront of human fertility and reproductive medicine; and securing the world’s food resources through long term genetic preservation of agriculturally important species and crops; and protecting and preserving the world’s endangered flora and fauna.
Our mission is to improve scientific understanding in the field of cryobiology and to disseminate and apply this knowledge for the benefit of mankind. We achieve this mission in two primary ways. First, the Society organizes an annual scientific meeting dedicated to all aspects of low-temperature biology and thermal medicine. This international meeting offers opportunities for presentation and discussion of the most up-to-date research in cryobiology as well as reviewing specific aspects through symposia and workshops. Secondly, the Society publishes a journal, Cryobiology, which is the foremost scientific publication in this area, with approximately 120 refereed contributions published each year.
We are world leaders in biological research. Come and join us.
