Purpose of Study

The purpose of this study is to recruit volunteer patients and healthy individuals for the UBC Brain Biobank, a state-of-the-art facility located at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health. Participants will provide 25ml of blood to be collected at the time of recruitment. These specimens will be processed and stored for ethics-approved brain research purposes in the future. The UBC Brain Biobank will also request access to participants' clinical records, which will be securely stored in a limited-access database and will be shared with researchers in a de-identified manner.

Eligibility

You may be eligible to participate if you:

  • are 19 years of age or older
  • are a patient or visitor at Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health clinics
  • consent to being part of the biobank
