Title: Biomedical Heat Transfer: Multiscale Molecular, Cellular, and Tissue Level Phenomenon
John Bischof, Ph.D. · University of Minnesota
Abstract: Heat transfer plays a crucial role in many biomedical applications in cryobiology (biopreservation and cryosurgery) and hyperthermic biology (thermal therapies). In these applications, thermal excursions are used to selectively preserve or destroy cells and tissues. Biopreservation is an enabling technology to many biomedical fields including cell and tissue banking, cell therapeutics, tissue engineering, organ transplantation and assisted reproductive technologies.
