Current preservation protocols still rely heavily on methods developed in the 1950s and 60s. Though providing adequate structural protection, these protocols do not support the functional requirements necessary for modern cell-preservation needs in the pharmaceutical, drug discovery, and basic science arenas.

To overcome limitations on banking and distribution imposed by the diversity of post-preservation responses of individual systems, recent investigations have been probing the molecular responses of biologics to the preservation process. The recent identification of diverse molecular responses to preservation permits novel methodologies.

This virtual seminar addressed fundamentals and recent biopreservation advances, in light of the “time management” requirements in processing biotherapeutic cells and tissues critical for product development. Regulatory and economic issues were discussed to highlight the impact of preservation procedures on basic research and technology development.

The 1½–hour presentation addressed:

  • Novel methods and technologies for enhanced preservation
  • Regulatory aspects of cryopreservation
  • Influence of preservation on cellular function
  • Discussion of cell molecular responses
  • Review of the foundations of cryopreservation

An extensive Q&A session, with worldwide participation followed.
