I am excited to host this webinar Tuesday announcing the #BankCTE study. Alzheimer's disease can now be diagnosed using blood - why not #CTE ? Register below.

What if we could detect CTE through a simple blood draw?

Join CLF & Boston University CTE Center Tuesday as we launch BANK CTE, aiming to identify biomarkers unique to CTE, which would help scientists eventually diagnose the disease in living patients. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

@Bu_CTE,

Thank you for the answers you provided to my family when we donated my mother's brain to your amazing Center.

#BrainDonation is needed among the #DVPopulation especially those who suspect living with #CTE to develop treatments.

#DVCTEBrainScience #DVCTEPandemic

I donated my mother's brain to @BU_CTE advance the science of #DomesticViolence and chronic traumatic encephalopathy ( #CTE ). Minimal resources are allocated to help #DVCTEVictims & #DVCTESurvivors .

Consider the gift of #braindonation .
