Society for Cryobiology

Society for Cryobiology

The Society for Cryobiology, an international scientific society, was founded in 1964. Its objectives are to promote research in low temperature biology, to improve scientific understanding in this field, and to disseminate and aid in the application of this knowledge. The Society publishes a journal called Cryobiology.
