Description :

  •  Validation of improved protocols for the vitrification of teleost gonadal tissue

Location :

  • Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Norway

Main Supervisor :

  • Prof. Ian Mayer.

E-mail :

Objectives :

  1. Develop and validate a method for the vitrification of gonadal tissue from teleost species

  2. Validate recovery success of frozen/thawed fragments in vitro

  3. Application of laser cryotome to visualize and characterize freeze-thaw damage in gonadal tissue
