THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on October 6, 2011. A project to collect, store and study DNA samples from tens of thousands of healthy volunteers and patients with diseases of major public importance. It aims to identify genes that are risk factors for the conditions. The network consists of 13 collections led by different clinicians throughout the UK. At its heart is an archive infrastructure which manages the DNA and the information associated with it. The European Collection of Cell Cultures in Porton Down handles the blood, peripheral blood lymphocytes and EBV-transformed cell lines, while the Centre for Integrated Genomic Medical Research at Manchester University manages the DNA. These banked samples are available to UK and international researchers, who can examine data and set up collaborative work by registering at the DNA Network's website. The conditions for which samples are currently collected and stored are: Acute leukemia, Asthma and eczema, Late onset Alzheimer's disease, Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Coronary artery disease, Glomerulonephritis, Hypertension, Age-related macular degeneration, Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Type 2 diabetes, Unipolar depression.

http://www.clinicbiobanc.org/en_index.html

A biobank of repositories which works to obtain, store, manage and distribute large collections of human biological samples of phenotypes and diseases of marked interest for researchers. The biobank sample collection is made up of three extensive repositories. The Neurological Tissue Biobank is a nervous tissue repository (brain and spinal cord) created from donations from cadavers with or without neurological conditions. It helps facilitate research in neurological illnesses. The Tumour Biobank and Anatomical Pathologies Collections is a repository of tumorous tissue and samples from cancer patients. The Blood and Fluid Biobank is a repository which contains samples of metabolic, inflammatory bowel, hepatic, digestive and maternal and foetal diseases, among others. It houses a large range of samples of scientific interest, primarily DNA, serum and plasma.

A brain bank which collects brain tissue from patients who died from various neurological and psychiatric diseases. These tissues are available for biochemical, molecular biological, and other work groups with the aim of supporting research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of these diseases. Collected brains are clinically and neuropathologically well-characterized. The collection and distribution of brain tissue samples is an ongoing process. NeuroBiobank Munich offers help with the organization and implementation of autopsies as well as with the neuropathologic diagnostics. The thematic emphasis of the NeuroBiobank Munich is Parkinson's disease and demential degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. NeuroBiobank Munich coordinates the German national brain tissue bank (BrainNet) and the European brain tissue bank (BrainNet Europe).

http://www.siumed.edu/alz/research%20Dementia.html

A brain autopsy program developed to serve the needs of Illinois families and individuals affected by dementing diseases and to advance dementia research by providing tissue to researchers studying dementing diseases. The SIU School of Medicine (SIU-SM) Dementia Brain Autopsy Program facilitates the postmortem process for families wishing to obtain an autopsy for a loved one. A brain autopsy provides family members with accurate information regarding the exact nature of their relative's dementia. This includes information about the possibility of an inherited disorder which may affect other family members. The brain autopsy also helps clinicians improve their clinical skills by identifying the precise cause of the clinical dementia.
