Share a brain tissue sample during surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study collects a small piece of brain tissue during people’s planned brain surgery. It may help researchers learn more about brain conditions and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for brain surgery
- Your surgery includes collecting a brain tissue sample
- You are able to take part in a tissue-collection study during the procedure
Quick eligibility check

This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
This study is for people (children or adults) who are planning brain surgery to remove tumor tissue. It may help researchers learn about care for brain tumors and how outcomes can be improved.
This study aims to improve understanding of glioblastoma (and gliosarcoma) by preserving live, usable brain-tissue samples during brain surgery. If you’re having repeat tumor surgery or your scans suggest these cancers, the study may ask to collect tissue for research.
This study collects small tissue samples from women having surgery for breast cancer. The samples are stored to help researchers learn more and develop better treatments in the future.
This trial uses a small piece of your brain tumor after surgery to test which drugs might work best for you. It helps doctors find the most effective treatment for your specific tumor.
This study collects biological samples from adults with a confirmed brain tumor. Samples may help researchers better understand brain tumors and improve future treatments.
