Brain and Tissue Bank

for Developmental Disorders

The Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental Disorders at the University of Maryland in Baltimore supports research aimed at improving the understanding, care, and treatment of developmental disorders including Niemann-Pick Disease. The Brain and Tissue Bank is funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to serve as an intermediary between researchers who study rare diseases and people who wish to have tissue donated for research during surgery or upon the time of their death. If you are interested in becoming a registered donor, or if you have any questions or concerns regarding the donation process, contact Cate Walsh-Vockley, NNPDF Coordinator of Education, Referral, and Advocacy.

Thank you for taking the time to consider the possibilities offered through the gift of tissue donation.
