Core facilities and collaborative labs at NVS

The Brain Bank at Karolinska Institutet

The Brain Bank at Karolinska Institutet is a center for clinical and experimental neuropathology with the aim to facilitate studies on the development, aging and diseases of the human central nervous system.

The Developmental Tissue Bank Core Facility

The Developmental Tissue Bank Core Facility provides research groups with defined human embryonic and fetal tissue (“prenatal tissue”), derived from routine abortions, through a collaboration with various clinics. After the tissue is transferred to the facility, we determine the developmental stage, identify the retrieved tissue, perform any necessary dissection, and process the tissue as agreed with the user. This facility is available through the iLab booking system for core facilities.

uMOVE

uMOVE is a joint collaboration between the Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society (NVS) and the Allied Health Professionals Function and the Children & Women's Health Theme at Karolinska University Hospital.
