Dublin Brain Bank

The launch of the Dublin Brain Bank took place on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008, in the Ivor Kenny Boardroom at the RCSI Smurfit Building, Beaumont Hospital.

 

 This event marked the opening of Ireland's first brain bio-banking network which will facilitate nationwide brain donation and will, in the near future, allow scientists access to precious human brain tissue for research into devastating diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Motor Neurone Disease.
