Virtual workshop on "Cryopreservation and Other Preservation Approaches for Animal Models," organized by the NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP). This workshop will be held as a series of virtual sessions starting September 6, 2024, and will continue into 2025. This workshop offers a valuable platform for experts to discuss the needs and challenges of cryopreservation and other preservation approaches for widely used animal models in biomedical research. The focus will be on current and emerging technologies aimed at advancing the preservation, maintenance, and sharing of these essential models, ultimately enhancing the infrastructure that supports groundbreaking research. The event is free to attend. You can register for specific sessions or the entire series at the following link: https://www.scgcorp.com/Cryopreservation2024/Default
