CryoStore aims to provide high-level training in the fields of cryobiology, reproduction/animal breeding and animal conservation to a new generation of high achieving early-stage researchers to provide them with the scientific and transferable skills necessary for thriving careers
Innovative advancements in cryopreservation procedures will increase the efficiency of assisted reproductive technologies used in Europe’s important livestock and aquaculture industries, helping Europe to remain competitive in the global market. In addition, these technological advancements will be highly beneficial to future conservation initiatives through genetic resource banking, for the purpose of conserving the unique biodiversity of Europe’s many rare/threatened breeds of farm animals, which will act as insurance against future threats such as disease epidemics and climate change.
