ATP TISSUE ADVISORY BOARD

Quality research depends on a number of factors, all of which involve decisions about the best use of the precious tissue that is collected. To ensure that these decisions are made by the leading experts in the neuroscience community, a Tissue Advisory Board is in place. This Advisory Board is comprised of experts with established track records indicating commitment to scientific inquiry, who also have demonstrated expertise in studies of the brain and brain tissue in such fields as neuroanatomy, molecular genetics neuroimmunocytology, neuropathology, neuroimaging and neurology.
