It takes heart to donate a brain

Paul Francis is Professor of Neurochemistry and Director of Brains for Dementia Research at the Wolfson Centre for Age-Related Diseases, King’s College

Brains for Dementia Research, an initiative by Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK in association with the Medical Research Council seeks to address the shortage of high quality brains from people with and without dementia, available to researchers. This is a good opportunity for BGS colleagues to contribute to an important research function in an area of medicine that is part of their day to day work.
