NeuroBioBank, Canada

Certification Status: Complete Education
Registration Status: Completed

Objective: This biobank project aims to establish a well-organized, prospective collection of biological samples obtained during routine clinical care from patients with neurological conditions. This resource will support research focused on the in-depth characterization of fluid-based biomarkers in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory disorders. Findings will be contextualized through comparison with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with both inflammatory and non-inflammatory neurological conditions.
