Lashley Lab Tissue Bank Add to Contact List

The Lashley Lab Research Tissue Bank (LTB) primary objective is to support high-quality, reproducible research aimed at advancing the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. The LTB will serve as a critical resource for the Lashley Lab, its associated members and collaborators. Specifically, the tissue bank aims to: 1. Facilitate Cutting-edge Research: Provide well-characterized, high-quality tissue samples to enable detailed pathological, biochemical, and molecular investigations into the mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Multiple System Atrophy and rarer dementias. A large number of histologically stained slides have been documented from over 25 years of research and are available for future research projects. 2. Support Collaborative Efforts: Enhance multidisciplinary and international collaborations by supplying tissue samples and/or its derived/associated data for diverse research projects, ensuring timely access to materials and/or data to prevent delays in research progress. 3. Enable Reproducibility: Ensure the availability of reproducible and standardized tissue samples, which are essential for validating research findings and for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. 4. Promote Education and Training: Support the training of students and early-career researchers by providing access to high-quality tissue samples for educational purposes, thereby fostering the next generation of neuroscientists. 5. Sustain Ethical Standards: Operate in accordance with the highest ethical standards, ensuring informed consent, confidentiality, and responsible use of donated tissues to honour the contributions of patients and their families. Through these objectives, LTB will significantly bolster the research capabilities of the Lashley Lab, enhancing the collective efforts to combat neurodegenerative diseases and improving outcomes for patients worldwide.
