Every day at the Centre for Brain Research our researchers are working hard to find
and develop new treatments for brain disease.
Alzheimer’s, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s and
other brain diseases are all devastating conditions for both patients and their
families. We need to learn more about how our brain works, how these diseases change
our biology and how we can halt that process.
More research is essential. Yet without human volunteers, many of our health and
medical studies simply won’t happen. We need healthy volunteers as well as people
with neurological conditions to participate.
If you are interested in contributing to current or future research projects at
the centre, you can join the volunteer register. The register is a secure database,
which can only be accessed by centre administrators. From time to time, the administrators
search the database for people who might be eligible to take part in ethically approved
research projects at the centre. Information about the study is then sent out to
potential volunteers, along with how to get in touch if they are interested in participating.
The information on the register is only used for this purpose, and will not be made
available to any other people or groups.
The Centre for Brain Research recognises the importance of your privacy and
safeguarding your personal information.
If you decide to join the register, you can change or delete your information at
any time by contacting the centre. The register has been approved by the
Northern X Regional Ethics Committee on 16th June 2010 with ethics reference
NTX/09/90/EXP.
