First sample tissue collected for brain tumour biobank

The biobank has been established by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, with support from the Department of Neurosurgery and Neuropathology in Beaumont Hospital, Dublin.

The project, partly funded by Brain Tumour Ireland, is expected to lead to increased cancer research opportunities and, crucially, increased survival rates for those diagnosed with a brain tumour.
