MS Brain Bank
The MS Brain Bank, located in Camperdown, New South Wales, established in 2008, serves as a premier research resource by providing postmortem tissue from individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for scientific studies aimed at developing better treatments and potential cures. With over 33,300 Australians affected by MS, the facility plays a crucial role in ongoing research initiatives, including a significant clinical trial focused on neuroprotection and myelin repair for progressive MS.
The Brain Bank also encourages donations from individuals without MS, facilitating comparative studies between brains with and without the disease, thereby enhancing the understanding of MS mechanisms. As of now, 62% of people living with MS are using disease-modifying therapies, a figure that shows a slight decline since 2017, highlighting the ongoing challenges in managing this complex condition.
