About
Dr. Anja Germann is a leading expert in cryobiology, with a focused research program dedicated to optimizing cryopreservation protocols for cell-based therapies. Her work directly addresses the critical challenge of maintaining high cell recovery, viability, and—crucially—post-thaw functionality, particularly for T cells used in immunotherapy. Her most-cited paper, "Toward Optimal Cryopreservation and Storage for Achievement of High Cell Recovery and Maintenance of Cell Viability and T Cell Functionality" (2016), has garnered 46 citations, serving as a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians seeking to improve the storage and transport of living therapeutic cells. This work systematically evaluates the interplay between cooling rates, storage conditions, and cryoprotectant agents to preserve not just cell survival, but the complex effector functions required for clinical efficacy. By bridging fundamental cryobiology with translational medicine, Dr. Germann’s contributions are essential for advancing cell banking, enabling more reliable and scalable manufacturing of cell therapies, and ultimately improving patient outcomes in adoptive cell transfer and regenerative medicine.
