  • The Parkinson’s UK Brain Bank
    Jan 2 2024

    The Parkinson's UK Brain Bank is the world's only brain bank solely dedicated to Parkinson's research.

    The Brain Bank, based at Imperial College London, collects precious tissue from people with and without Parkinson's who have decided to leave their brains to Parkinson's research.

    The donation of brain tissue has already led to major advances in our understanding of Parkinson's, and resulted in new treatments being developed and tested.

    People with and without Parkinson's can sign up and pledge to donate their brain for research. Donation is not an easy decision and we are extremely grateful to the donors and their families who have chosen to do this.

    This is a recording of a talk which Prof David Dexter gave to the Kensington and Chelsea Parkinson's Support Group all about the Brain Bank. He kindly allowed us to share it with you all.
