The NSF ERC for Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (ATP-Bio) is a collaborative network of experts and engaged stakeholders working together to advance and ethically translate technologies for storage and distribution of living biological products. These technologies have broad applications in healthcare, biodiversity, and food supply and sustainability. The ERC provides a forum for both academia and industry, fostering creation and transfer of knowledge and transforming the research, application, and education of cryopreservation and biopreservation techniques.
Join us on our journey to revolutionize the way organs, cells, tissues are preserved, stored, and transported.
Learn How Cryopreservation Works
ATP-Bio has made significant advances in the healthcare space including breakthroughs for the preservation of red blood cells and organs. We are looking to grow our efforts in the cell therapies spaces as well as broaden applications into space travel and traumatic brain injury.
ATP-Bio has primarily focused our biodiversity efforts on coral biopreservation. Moving forward, we seek collaborators that will expand this work into other key endangered species as well as explore different types of life such as plant & microbial preservation.
ATP-Bio has developed technologies with potential impact across aquaculture and food preservation. Moving forward, we hope to recruit more experts in this space to expand the reach of these technologies and expand into new markets.
