Read a recent article by the Director of the Douglas-Bell Canada Brain Bank in “The Conversation” magazine: The Douglas-Bell Canada Brain Bank: a goldmine for brain research
It’s thanks to the hard work and dedication of the entire BCDBC team, as well as the unfailing support of all its partners, patrons (often anonymous) and granting agencies, most notably the FRQS and its Réseau québécois sur le suicide, les troubles de l’humeur et les troubles associés, that this invaluable resource has not only managed to survive, but to grow and develop into one of the world’s leading brain banks.
There is every reason to believe that, in the years to come, the BCDBC will have an important role to play in the increasingly precise identification of the biological causes of brain diseases, and therefore of new targets for better approaches to prevention, screening and treatment.
