David Pegg was a founding member of the Society for Cryobiology (1964), and was elected to Fellow in 2005.
Areas and Achievement
- Research into the effects of cooling, freezing and exposure to cryoprotectants on red blood cells, used as a model system to understand freezing injury.
- Improving the quality of preservation of human bone marrow for transplantation.
- Optimization of solutions to which kidneys are exposed during hypothermia and cryopreservation.
- Measurement and modelling of tissue CPA concentrations
- Determination of the mechanisms of freezing injury and of cryoprotectant damage in rabbit kidneys used as a model system: also in blood vessels and cartilage.
- Development of the ‘liquidus – tracking’ method to avoid the formation of ice during cryopreservation.
- Design and construction of equipment for cryopreservation.
- Consultation with others regarding tissue and organ preservation and transplantation.
