International Scientific Society for Low-Temperature Biology and Medicine
The Society for Cryobiology is an international scientific society which was founded in 1964. The purposes of the Society are to promote scientific research in low temperature biology, to improve scientific understanding in this field, and to disseminate and apply this knowledge to the benefit of mankind.

What is Cryobiology?
The word cryobiology literally signifies the science of life at icy temperatures. In practice, this field comprises the study of any biological material or system (e.g., proteins, cells, tissues, or organs) subjected to any temperature below normal (ranging from cryogenic temperatures to moderately hypothermic conditions).
Applications of cryobiology include:
Preservation of cells and tissues for purposes of long-term storage
Cryosurgery, a minimally invasive approach for destruction of unhealthy tissue
Lyophilization (freeze-drying) of pharmaceuticals
The study of cold-adaptation of plants and animals.
The Society for Cryobiology invites other scientific societies interested in co-sponsoring joint meetings (or symposia, workshops, etc) to contact the Society President.
Annual Meeting
CRYO 2009
The 46th Annual Meeting of the Society for Cryobiology will be held July 19-23, 2009 in Sapporo, Japan.
