From 1st January 2021, all enquiries regarding Alcohol Use Disorder and neuropsychiatric projects should be directed to the NSW Brain Tissue Resource Centre (NSWBTRC): nswbtrc@sydney.edu.au or +61 2 8627 1668
Please note that due to the Christmas period, SBB review of tissue request applications will temporarily shutdown from December 13, 2024 (last day) and re-start on January 13, 2025. No applications will be reviewed during this period.
In order to allow sufficient time for review before this shutdown period applications should be submitted by November 15, 2024. Amendments should be submitted by December 02, 2024. Please note that supply of tissue will still be subject to TTA approval from your institution, which may incur further delays.
The Sydney Brain Bank would like to thank you for your continued support throughout 2024.
