Research methodologies

Disease registers and biobanks permit detailed phenotyping for clinical and biological studies.

Clinical research - investigating the people affected by brain diseases - is a mainstay of CCBS research.

We aim to dissect the genetic factors that cause or predispose people to brain diseases and conditions.

Research that helps us design the best experiments, interpret the results of others, and assess benefits to patients and healthcare providers.

CCBS research spans the spectrum of molecular and cellular biology through to in vivo disease modelling.

Imaging the function and structure of the brain using state-of-the-art techniques.

The neuropathologists collaborate widely across CCBS and beyond, and also play a major national role in brain and tissue banking.

State-of-the-art stem cell research to model brain diseases.
