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.
