The Barcelona CryoZoo aims to safeguard and study biological material from a wide range of animal species.
The Barcelona CryoZoo is a one-of-a-kind project aiming to safeguard and study biological material from a wide range of animal species – especially those at risk of extinction – in order to preserve and better understand the planet’s biodiversity.
Born out of an initiative by the Barcelona Zoo Foundation, a space managed by BSM through the Barcelona Zoo Foundation, and that is developed jointly with University Pompeu Fabra (UPF), EMBL Barcelona, and the Natural Science Museum of Barcelona, CryoZoo has now been awarded a competitive grant from the wildlife conservation organisation Revive & Restore. This support will allow the project to take a significant step forward in deriving and studying stem cell lines from wild animal species.
