They have established a world-leading centre for human brain research, bringing together over 30 researchers from 10 research groups from across the UK.The centre’s success relies entirely on the generosity of amazing patients. They kindly donate any brain tissue removed during routine surgery to be used for research. In the past, this tissue would have been discarded.Looking to the future, the Living Human Brain Group are redefining biomedical methods to improve future therapies, bridging the translational gap from clinic to lab and back again!
