The SCRM-CTBB offers state-of-the-art infrastructure and technologies (e.g. cryogenic work bench, semiautomatic cryogenic storage system, uninterrupted cooling chain) and is structured into two areas, including research and a GMP/GCP regulated therapeutic applications. Research: For pre-clinical studies, the SCRM-CTBB provides researchers guidance regarding cell and tissue cryo-preservation, comprising registration, handling, storage and distribution. In order to ensure complete traceability on samples and belonging information all processes are controlled by a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and Quality Assurance (QA) system. The SCRM Biobank is designed to create database that allows connection with other biobanks nationally and internationally. This meta-data file will enable a unique scientific resource for interdisciplinary research. For every new study a contract is established describing the study and the disposition rights. Assistance in writing Biobank Agreements (BAs) and Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) is provided. Therapeutical applications: As a new feature, apart from research, the SCRM Biobank enables the asservation and preservation of cells and tissues under GMP conditions for later therapeutic use. A special focus will be on a conceptional combination of private and public umbilical cord blood banking (hybrid banking), which allows autologous and/or allogeneic cell applications.

As an umbrella organization for medical research networks, the TMF is responsible for improving the organization and infrastructure of medical research in networked structures. It supports researchers at the various locations in jointly identifying and solving problems of an organizational, legal and technical nature that are often not associated with the particular clinical problem or research focus. The network not only focuses on legal and ethical frameworks for networked medical research but also on the development of IT infrastructure, quality management activities for science-initiated trials and questions on the intermeshing of research and patient care. Under the umbrella organization of the TMF, expert opinions, studies, concepts, requirements specifications, services and tools are created. The products of the cooperation within the TMF are available to the research community. The aims of joint work in the TMF are: * Improvement of medical research in terms of quality, organization and cooperation * Solution of questions spanning networked medical research, e.g. on the collection, processing and exchange of research data * Clarification of the legal and ethical foundations for performing medical research * Issues of quality assurance and quality management * Development and extension of efficient IT infrastructures and their implementation in cross-institutional networked structures * Realization of cross-location solutions * Contributions to sustainable and efficient health research by means of the improved transfer of research findings to patient care

Brain Canada is a national non-profit organization that develops and supports collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research across the neurosciences. Through partnering with the public, private and voluntary sectors, Brain Canada connects the knowledge and resources available in this area to accelerate neuroscience research and funding and maximize the output of Canada''s world-class scientists and researchers. Brain Canada was created to address the twin challenges of increasing the scale of brain research funding in Canada and widening its scope to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration to produce insights for treating multiple disorders. Brain Canada is built on the successes and model of NeuroScience Canada (NSC). Established in 1999, NSC raised more than $11.5 million, leveraged over $20 million with partnered funding, and funded 100 individual and teams of researchers in Canada. Brain Canada is the new vision for Canadian brain researchthe voice for the brain and the grouping of brain disorders, raising awareness about their prevalence and impact on individuals, families, the economy and society. But most important, through the research we are funding, we are giving hope to the millions of Canadians who are directly or indirectly touched by diseases, disorders, and injuries of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on May 18th, 2016. A foundation that was founded in 2001, and sponsors academic centers throughout the US. The MIchael Stern Parkinson's Research Foundation focuses its efforts mainly on finding the causes of the disease, finding effective treatments, and discovering a cure for the disease. The foundation is notably looking into dopamine and its effects on neural connections, as well its possibility to be used for treatment.
Dr. Greengard has assembled a close knit group of more than 25 outstanding scientists who are focused on translating the fundamental understandings about the dopamine system into new treatments for Parkinson's. The core team of researchers is based at the Stern Foundation laboratory on the campus of The Rockefeller University interacts continually with collaborators from the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Italy, Japan and Korea. This global presence ensures that no promising research lead is overlooked, and that progress can be made on multiple fronts simultaneously. As the Foundation grew it was able to expand its support for critical neurological research to two other institutions, Harvard University's McLean Hospital, where we support the research of Dr. Ole Isacson whose research lab, The Stern Center for Neuroregeneration Research is using gene therapy to protect the most vulnerable neurons in PD models; and the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders, where Yale Professors Dr. Ken Marek and Dr. John Seibyl are developing novel tools for early detection and monitoring of Parkinson's disease by studying physiologic, biochemical and neuroimaging biomarkers for non-dominergic manifestations of Parkinsonism. :NIF thanks the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, http://www.pdf.org for their referral of this resource to us.
