Cryopreservation allows the preservation of marine cells and tissues at low temperatures. At CryoLab, we study the mechanisms that determine the success of freezing and develop specific protocols for different organisms, ranging from microalgae to bivalves, polychaetes, and fish.
This section features the most relevant news related to the cryopreservation of marine organisms.
Here you will find information about ongoing projects, research results, collaborations, and outreach activities that reflect the work of the CryoLab team.
Our goal is to share the advances that contribute to improving cryopreservation protocols and their transfer to biological collections, small-scale hatcheries, and marine research centers.
CryoLab is a laboratory dedicated to the study and development of cryopreservation protocols applied to marine organisms.
Its work focuses on understanding the biological processes that determine the success of freezing and preserving cells, gametes, and larvae. The team conducts research on various groups —from microalgae and bivalves to polychaetes and fish— to adapt each method to the specific characteristics of each species.
The main goal of CryoLab is to combine basic research and technological transfer.
Its protocols are applied in biological collections, hatcheries, and conservation projects, contributing to the preservation of marine biodiversity and the sustainable development of aquaculture.
