The mission of CRYOZOO is to safeguard the biomaterial of animal species with priority given to the most endangered species according to the IUCN Red list. By generating and preserving cell lines and molecular data, we are building an invaluable treasure of biological resources for future generations.
What make us unique?
Our approach is based on three fundamental pillars.
Cryopreservation of viable cell lines from captive and wild species with priority to the most threatened vertebrates in the IUCN red list.
Characterization of the karyotype and molecular phenotypes for these cell lines, such as genome, epigenome and transcriptomics for genomic and comparative studies.
Study and promote research in cell reprogramming techniques for iPSCs generation.
