Brain and Tissue Bank

The mission of the UMB BTB is to advance the research of developmental, neurological and movement disorders. The objective of this human tissue repository is to systematically collect, store, and distribute brain and other tissues for research dedicated to the improved understanding, care and treatment of individuals with these disorders. We have extensive experience in arranging for the rapid retrieval of tissue upon the death of individuals while at home, in hospitals or hospice care. The Bank is also able to assist physicians and researchers who are working with patients who intend to donate tissues at the time of their death. Visit our About Us section to learn more.
