Why participate in research?
Our research programs are revolutionizing the world’s understanding of brain trauma. Learn how. We have assembled a research team at the University of Oxford with exceptional expertise in neurodegeneration and TBI. Dr. Gabriele De Luca leads our collaborative efforts.
Our UK-based research teams work in concert with Boston University and our Global Brain Bank sites in Australia, Brazil, Canada, and New Zealand to ensure the science is advancing efficiently and cohesively.

The CLF Research Registry comprises the Brain Donation Registry (BDR) and Clinical Research Registry (CRR). You may sign up for one or both. All adults, with or without a history of sports participation or military service, are eligible to join the Research Registry.
BDR members will receive a personalized brain donor card and informational brochure. CRR members will receive regular communications recruiting them to clinical research studies on concussions and CTE. Click here to join the Research Registry or learn more.
Disclaimer: Please note that your pledge is not binding. For legal reasons, the final decision to donate will be made by your next of kin. Therefore, we encourage you to discuss your intent to donate with your family. Additionally, due to the natural evolution of research, we cannot guarantee in advance we will be able to accept your donation. The Brain Donation Coordinator will be able to determine if a donation is possible at the time the donation inquiry is made.
