The 1st World Congress on Controversies inCryopreservation of Stem Cells,
Reproductive Cells, Tissue & Organs (CRYO)
The Academy for Clinical Debates & Controversies in Medicine
www.comtecmed.com/cryo
A comprehensive Congress fully devoted to clinical debates and controversial issues in the fieldof Cryopreservation of Stem cells, Reproductive cells, Tissue and Organs.
VALENCIA • SPAIN • APRIL 22-25, 2010
&
In recent years the field of Cryopreservation has witnessed enormous expansionin clinical and basic data. Conferences are becoming more and more informativebut there is often only limited time for thorough discussion. There seems to bea gap between the enormous expansion of knowledge in the field ofcryopreservation and the dissemination of that knowledge. This developmenthas created a great need to debate the many controversial issues and crystallizethem into clinical conclusions.
This controversies Congress stems from the fact that current congresses fail topromote true clinical discussion between practicing physicians and researcherson unresolved pressing issues.
Allowing ample time for speaker-audience discussion, the congress aims atreaching up-to-date and agreed-upon answers to ongoing debates even whenproof is lacking, through evidence-based medicine and expert opinion.
The purpose of the Cryopreservation of Stem cells, Reproductive Cells, Tissue andOrgans Congress is to disseminate information in our field by debating the multiplecontroversial issues and reaching consensus when possible.
We invite you to take part in The First International Congress on Controversiesin Cryopreservation of Stem cells, Reproductive cells, Tissue and Organs (CRYO)which will be a milestone for future congresses.
We look forward to an exciting scientific event in the beautiful city of Valencia.
