Leeds Neuropathology Research Tissue Bank

We are the Leeds Neuropathology Research Tissue Bank.

Collecting patient donated tissue for use in Brain Cancer Research.

[Leeds Neuropathology Research Tissue Bank @LeedsNeuroRTB]

A cure for brain cancer requires access to patient tissue to facilitate cutting-edge research & the development of experimental models + provide validation of lab results in humans. Our tissue bank is open to all researchers, & industry, to enable this!

Pledges to increase brain tumour research funding in the UK have not improved outcomes, as was hoped. Our position paper opines why "Adult brain tumour research in 2024: Status, challenges and recommendations" https://t.co/7OPNfSHRjk @KarinPurshouse @allyrooney @jenkinsonmd

Wonderful to see the @LeedsNeuroRTB manager, Steven Pollock, at the @UniversityLeeds Technican Expo event yesterday, explaining about what goes into collecting and processing brain tissue to facilitate cutting edge research @UoL_technicians @MedicineDean @LIMRLeeds

It's been a record breaking quarter for applications to our tissue bank funded by @OscarsCharity and @YorkshireBTC . Check our our latest Research Roundup, highlighting just a few of the studies and success stories 👇

We are proud to be facilitating so much research in Leeds and beyond! 🧑‍🔬🧬🧠Applications for tissue are welcome from all locations. Just email us 💻[email protected]

Feel good this Friday as we highlight the work of Leeds Neuro Research Tissue Bank (@LeedsNeuroRTB) Money you raised helped it set-up and grow

Many research projects are able to take place because of tissue stored in the bank being available.

A real pleasure to open the recurrent GBM session at #BNOS2023, and talk about recent findings from GBM research giants @roelverhaak @MarioSuva @TiroshLab @landau_lab @diazlaboratory & owork in @GliomaGenomics (https://t.co/WpXSeFAxpc) We can learn so much from patient tissue!

Why are so many types of brain tumour incurable?

How can tissue banking help?

@LucyFStead told the @hippocraticpost why tissue banks like @LeedsNeuroRTB funded by YBTC & @OscarsCharity are vital to helping us find a cure

Talk with someone who really gets it.

Our Check In & Chat scheme buddies up people impacted by a brain tumour in need of #support with someone who's been through a similar situation. We're looking for new members & volunteers!
