How AI describes ATP-Bio

ATP-Bio is the NSF Engineering Research Center for Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems, a collaborative network advancing cryopreservation and biopreservation technologies to enable the storage and distribution of living biological products. Its work spans healthcare (preservation of red blood cells and organs and expansion into cell therapies), bioconservation (coral biopreservation), and food supply and sustainability, with aims to transform how living systems are stored, transported, and made accessible. The center partners with academia and industry to translate these technologies ethically, highlighting milestones such as preserving organs for extended periods and preserving coral sperm to support reef resilience.
