The objective of this research is to obtain significant new knowledge           about the heat and mass transfer processes involved in the freezing of          living cells and to relate this knowledge to cryopreservation                   procedures.  Experimental and modeling techniques will be used in a             complementary manner to provide a bridge microscopic and macroscopic            scale phenomena that govern practical cell freezing procedures.                                                                                                 Up to now most of the development work on cryopreservation processes has        been empirical in nature, and many crucial problems have remained               partially or totally unsolved.  The present research will remedy this           situation by studying the complex, coupled interactions among the               thermal, osmotic, and physiological parameters which govern the freezing        of living tissue.  Furthermore, research will address the                       cryopreservation of a number of types of tissue of large commercial             significance, including human skin and mammalian embryos.
