This brain bank, biobank, and biospecimen bank derives its donors from the Arizona Study of Aging and Neurodegenerative Disease (AZSAND), a longitudinal clinicopathological study of elderly volunteers living in Maricopa county and metropolitan Phoenix. Studies focus on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, heart diseases, and cancer. Banked tissue, biomaterials and biospecimens are shared with qualified researchers worldwide.
