Research & Development - BioBank
The CCNR BioBank comprises a unique set of clinical samples including brain, peripheral tissues and biofluids from over 500 schizophrenic, bipolar, major depression and control subjects. The tissue samples are supported by demographic information and privileged access to clinical data and patient histories.
Samples have been sourced from organisations in the US and Europe, including the Stanley Medical Research Institute. Access to tissue samples from a further 2,000 subjects is under negotiation. The BioBank also contains tissue samples from over 200 patients with other CNS diseases (e.g. depression, Alzheimer’s, Downs, Parkinson’s and Huntingdon’s etc.)
