Advancing translational neuroscience to improve the understanding and treatment of brain diseases.

Aims and Core Offerings

To amplify and broaden our impact, we position the Human Cortex Lab as a key facility accessible to premier neuroscience labs and industrial collaborators both in Denmark and globally. Our goal is to support a multitude of high-caliber projects, thereby maximizing the impact we can have on the field of neuroscience and neurology.

We focus our efforts on refining and delivering six key offerings:

•     Procurement of fresh, viable samples of the human brain, both healthy and diseased.
•     Execution of acute electrophysiological studies and calcium imaging on human brain slices.
•     Cultivation and maintenance of organotypic brain slice cultures for complex experimentation.
•     Implementation of viral infections, gene modifications, and drug applications on human brain slices.
•     Proper preparation and preservation of tissue samples for future analyses.
•     Planning and initiation of clinical trials for patients with neurological diseases

In addition to these offerings, we maintain a research biobank, complemented by a comprehensive data repository that includes clinical, neuro-imaging, pathological, and lab results.

We provide a holistic package comprising data, advanced experimental capabilities, and either fresh or cultured tissue samples to our collaborators, along with immediate expertise in clinical trial conduct.
