The NSWBTRC has recently relocated to the purpose-built research institute, the Charles Perkins Centre (CPC), at the University of Sydney (http://sydney.edu.au/perkins/). Although the centre's primary research foci relate to chronic systemic disorders (obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease), the brain bank acts as a conduit to understanding the bi-directional relationships between the brain and these disease states. Indeed, various CPC research groups utilize brain bank material while Using our Brains (UoB) donors participate in research projects where both systemic and central phenotypic data are being collected.
