International Conference 27-30th April 2015 NASC Complex, Pusa Campus, New Delhi, India Low Temperature Science and Biotechnological Advances Abstract Deadline 28th February 2015 Registration Open 15th December 2014 ICAR- National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources Indian Council of Agricultural Research, India National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India Royal Botanic Gardens, UK and Society for Low Temperature Biology, UK ICAR- National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, Pusa Campus, New Delhi, India Email: info@cryobiotechasia2015.in; director@nbpgr.ernet.in www.cryobiotechasia2015.in Introduction www.cryobiotechasia2015.in Understanding how cells and tissues tolerate low temperatures in nature has accelerated scientific experimentation and enabled progress in the cryopreservation of genetic resources, particularly for use in agriculture (food security), medicine (e.g. stem cells) and conservation (protection against species extinction). Since the first success in cell cryopreservation >50 years ago, the field of low temperature science has increased rapidly to explore the biochemical, molecular, physiological and biophysical basis of low temperature tolerance. Associated improvements in cryomethodologies have now resulted in much wider opportunities for application and adoption of bio-banking in the biotechnology sector. As Asia’s o t i utio to wo ld e o o i g owth o ti ues, i ludi g th ough a e pa di g biotechnology sector, it is time to assess how future developments can be underpinned by international collaborations in bio-banking, via South-South and North-South linkages. In view of this need, the Government of India, through the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, with National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India, the Society for Low Temperature Biology, UK and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK have committed to organize the International Conference on Low Temperature Science and Biotechnological Advances. This Conference will enable scientists, researchers and students – in the public and private sectors - to review and discuss recent research and practical applications of low temperature science including cryopreservation in the biotechnology arena. Keynote lectures will be delivered by scientific leaders from Asian countries, and across the world, with the aim of stimulating future programmes on the cryopreservation of genetic resources of plant, animal, human, fish and microbe using diverse biological materials for the benefit of humankind.
