We recently visited the University of Southampton to help them cryopreserve sea urchin sperm for the first time. But why did they seek out our support to do this in the first place?
Every year, Reverse the Red Day gives us a moment to reflect on the extraordinary work being done across the conservation community and to celebrate the people who are reversing the decline of threatened species.
We are collaborating with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) and Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park to investigate whether a rare butterfly, the British Swallowtail, could be reared from frozen eggs in an effort to safeguard the future of the species.
A 40-year-old Southern white rhino who passed away in 2021 contributes to the conservation and care of her species, long after her death.
Are you curious about how cryopreservation and assisted reproductive technologies can help conserve wildlife? We are extending an invitation for you to visit our lab on June 4th.
