Facilitating access to NHS tissue archives for neuroscience research.
If you're a researcher requiring human tissue from disorders affecting the brain and neuromuscular system then BRAIN UK will help you find the tissue you need. Working with our network of NHS Neuropathology Centres across the UK - our 'Participating Centres' - our matching service connects researchers with the range of Central Nervous System (CNS) tissue available across the network.
