NCTalks on brain banking: progress, challenges and opportunities

Brain banks are an essential tool for neuropathological studies, allowing us to answer pressing research questions and test new theories. Recent advances in molecular technologies have further expanded the utility of brain banks, while an aging population is increasing interest in dementia and neurodegenerative disorders. But what are the challenges in maintaining, funding and accessing brain banks? How can these be addressed? Listen our recent panel discussion, held in collaboration with The Drake Foundation, to hear from researchers at Queen Square Brain Bank (London, UK), plus experts from Alzheimer’s Research UK and Alzheimer’s Association, as they discuss the current issues surrounding brain banking.
