The Royan Institute held their third cryobiology and biobanking symposium on February 27, 2019, in Tehran, Iran. The Royan Institute was established in 1991 as a public non-profit research institute for reproductive biomedicine and infertility treatments. Today Royan consists of three research institutes:
- Royan Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Technology (RI-SCBT)
- Royan Institute for Reproductive Biomedicine (RI-RB)
- Royan Institute for Biotechnology (RI-B)
The recent symposium covered advances in basic and applied cryobiology in reproductive biomedicine and stem cells, encompassing cryotechnology, methodology, chemistry, biophysics, cord blood stem cells, and human and animal biobanking. This year and during the symposium program, 12 national and international scientists presented their lectures and three pre-congress workshops were held and 189 participants joined the events and best student theses were selected and awarded in two graduate and postgraduate levels.
