The 1st International Congress on Controversies in Cryopreservation of Stem cells, Reproductive cells, Tissues and Organs (CRYO)

In recent years the field of cryopreservation has witnessed enormous expansion in clinical and basic data. Conferences are becoming more and more informative but there is often only limited time for thorough discussion. There seems to be a gap between the enormous expansion of knowledge in the field of cryopreservation and the dissemination of that knowledge. This development has created a great need to debate the many controversial issues and crystallize them into clinical conclusions.

This controversies Congress stems from the fact that current congresses fail to promote true clinical discussion between practicing physicians and researchers on unresolved pressing issues.
