Society for Cryobiology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Society for Cryobiology is an international scientific society that was founded in 1964. Its objectives are to promote research in low temperature biology, to improve scientific understanding in this field, and to disseminate and aid in the application of this knowledge. The Society also publishes a journal called Cryobiology.[1]

The society has hosted 60 annual meetings to date, with the 2024 annual meeting being held in Washington. The three-day event will host over 350 delegates from more than 35 countries.[2]
