Huntington Disease BioBank

The Huntington Disease (HD) Biobank, at the UBC Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics (CMMT), is one of the largest HD biobanks in the world. Since the 1980s, patients and their families have generously gifted human samples to contribute to critical discoveries in the field of HD. The gift of human biological specimens, along with medical and family history details, are an invaluable resource for researchers worldwide. The HD Biobank is a proud custodian of these samples and clinical data from the neurodegeneration community. With the permission of our donors, we collect, store, study, and share the samples and data with a community of collaborators who are working tirelessly to understand and treat HD and other neurodegenerative disorders.
