About Us
The National Multiple Sclerosis Brain Bank is a collaboration between investigators at Columbia University, National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH/NINDS), and the Yale School of Medicine, funded generously by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Established in 2020, the Brain Bank will be an invaluable resource for investigators to aid in their research.
