Edinburgh Brain Bank
About the project
The Edinburgh Brain Bank is a bioresource providing well-characterised human brain tissues to support translational research.
We have donations from patients with detailed clinical information, including ECAS data in many cases, covering the full spectrum of ALS-FTD, including sporadic and familial cases. We also support the array tomography tissue resource overseen by Professor Tara Spires-Jones.
