Hotchkiss Brain Institute

3330 Hospital Dr NW
Calgary, AB T2N 4N1

The Calgary Brain Bank (CBB), established by the University of Calgary and the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, focuses on studying neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia by providing researchers with human brain tissues from both diseased and normal aging states. Funded by a generous grant, the CBB is led by Dr. Eric E. Smith and Dr. Jeffrey T. Joseph, who oversee the provision of pathologically characterized human tissues to qualified scientists in the field.

Distinct from other brain banks, the CBB offers small samples of anatomically specific tissues from individuals without known neurologic diseases, emphasizing its commitment to advancing research on neurodegenerative diseases and aging. The bank supports various research initiatives, including studies on dementias, movement disorders, and multiple sclerosis, thereby contributing significantly to the understanding of these complex conditions.
