Leeds Neuropathology Research Tissue Bank

A cure for brain cancer requires access to patient tissue to facilitate cutting-edge research & the development of experimental models + provide validation of lab results in humans. Our tissue bank is open to all researchers, & industry, to enable this!

**Follow @OscarsCharity ** We're big on raising awareness of brain tumours, our services for families, and our events-but need more people to see our messages. If you see this then like, share to your feed, tag people...and follow if you don't already! #follow #share

Wonderful to see the @LeedsNeuroRTB manager, Steven Pollock, at the @UniversityLeeds Technican Expo event yesterday, explaining about what goes into collecting and processing brain tissue to facilitate cutting edge research @UoL_technicians @MedicineDean @LIMRLeeds

It's been a record breaking quarter for applications to our tissue bank funded by @OscarsCharity and @YorkshireBTC . Check our our latest Research Roundup, highlighting just a few of the studies and success stories 👇

We are proud to be facilitating so much research in Leeds and beyond! 🧑‍🔬🧬🧠Applications for tissue are welcome from all locations. Just email us 💻LeedsNeuroRTB@leeds.ac.uk

A real pleasure to open the recurrent GBM session at #BNOS2023, and talk about recent findings from GBM research giants @roelverhaak @MarioSuva @TiroshLab @landau_lab @diazlaboratory & owork in @GliomaGenomics (tinyurl.com/mrf3br9e) We can learn so much from patient tissue!

Congratulations to our own Yousef Alghamdi for achieving a Top Scoring abstract at #BNOS2023 and giving a great oral presentation. GBM profiling thanks to #GLASS and @LeedsNeuroRTB @OscarsCharity @YorkshireBTC

Tissue Bank Update! Some of the good work we've been supporting with the generous help of @YorkshireBTC and @OscarsCharity can be read about here braincancer.leeds.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…

So thrilled to have received funding from @HuddersfieldUni to work with @YorkshireBTC on a joint public engagement project to raise awareness of brain tumours.

Olivia went on her #tshirttravels to the #Norfolk Broads spreading awareness of OSCARs, with a big smile on her face. Thanks again to Athena HR @denisej_hr for their sponsorship. #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #Oscars #charity #inflatable #5k #run #braintumours

Come see us at #ShadwellVillageHall on Saturday, 9.30am-12.30pm! We'll be selling knitted ribbon badges for our #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth campaign, plus tote bags & tea towels designed by our supporter Sue Edwards, & lots of festive gifts!

Why are so many types of brain tumour incurable? How can tissue banking help? @LucyFStead told the @hippocraticpost why tissue banks like @LeedsNeuroRTB funded by YBTC & @OscarsCharity are vital to helping us find a cure hippocraticpost.com/cancer/banking…

Talk with someone who really gets it. Our Check In & Chat scheme buddies up people impacted by a brain tumour in need of #support with someone who's been through a similar situation. We're looking for new members & volunteers! Register your interest at yorksbtc.org.uk/check-in-and-c…

If you are a brain cancer researcher and you need tissue, please contact us. We are a fully funded RTB thanks to @YorkshireBTC and @OscarsCharity
