BRC is a collaboration of Dalhousie University, the Capital District Health Authority, and the IWK Health Centre
The Brain Repair Centre (BRC) is a multidisciplinary collaboration linking more than 100 world-class researchers and physicians specializing in groundbreaking treatments and technologies in the field of brain repair. They range from surgeons who replace tissue in the human brain to recover lost capability, to scientists in the field of imaging, stem cell neurobiology, pharmacology, psychiatry, ophthalmology, neurology and cognitive neuroscience.
Brain Repair Centre research is dedicated to disorders such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, serious mental illness, stroke, epilepsy, vision dysfunction, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and chronic pain.
The Brain Repair Centre has played a lead role in successfully raising millions of dollars toward the cost of creating the new Life Sciences Research Institute, which had its official opening on June 21, 2011. The Brain Repair Centre is the anchor tenant in the LSRI. This state-of-the-art building is located on the corner of College and Summer Streets in Halifax.
