About INRL
Our laboratory is a central hub for resources related to neuropathology research and education and serves as the brain bank for the University of Iowa. We provide collaborators with access to donated human brain tissue, as well as the services needed to stain and analyze the tissue to answer their questions regarding diseases affecting the brain and spinal cord. We also offer consultations on projects requiring neuropathology expertise.
