By becoming a tissue donor, you are making an extraordinary contribution to science and to future generations. The Institute Born-Bunge (IBB) conducts cutting-edge research into neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, epilepsy, and rare nerve and muscle disorders. Much of this research would not be possible without the generous decision of individuals who choose to donate tissue for scientific purposes.
What impact does tissue donation have?
Donated brain, spinal cord, muscle, or nerve tissue — often collected after death or during clinical procedures — provides irreplaceable insights into how neurological diseases develop and progress. Through tissue analysis, researchers can:
Identify early disease markers
Understand underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration
Improve diagnostics
Develop more targeted treatments
In short, your donation can help prevent, treat, or even cure diseases that affect millions worldwide.
An act of lasting generosity
Tissue donation is a personal decision — one that often comes from a deep desire to help others. For many, it is a way to transform personal or family experiences with illness into hope for the future. Each donation is handled with the utmost care, respect, and in full accordance with ethical and legal standards.
