Cryobiology for South American Neotropical Fish Species

Dr. Danilo P. Streit Jr., Professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, focuses on cryobiology to develop solutions for population reconstitution and aquaculture viability. With projects in electricity generation and strong partnerships worldwide, his research has resulted in 120+ publications and training for 40+ postgraduates. Currently, he concentrates on a strategic plan for conserving the genetic resources of South American fish.Dr. Tiantian Zhang, Deputy Dean of Research, is internationally recognized for her work in fish gametes and embryos cryopreservation. With interests in reproductive cell cryopreservation's impact and applications in biomedicine, conservation, and aquaculture, she has 150+ publications, 100+ conference presentations, and has supervised 30+ PhDs. Dr. Zhang secured substantial funding from the UK, Wellcome Trust, and EU Research Councils, and holds prestigious positions in cryobiology societies. Her contributions earned her recognition by the Society of Cryobiology in 2016.Dr. Estefania Paredes, Professor at the Universidade de Vigo, Spain. Her work is centered about the development of cryopreservation protocols for a wide variety of cell types and species of aquatic animals. Her research resulted in over 50 publications, and training of over a dozen students so far. Currently, Dr. Paredes is the president of the Sociedad Española de Criobiología and her research is focused on development of cryopreservation protocols for marine organisms.
