Detecting CTE in the Blood: New BU Research Study

Warning - this video contains reference to and imagery of brain dissection for the purposes of research. A full brain, in addition to brain sections, are depicted from 25:15 to 28:55. If you prefer not to view this content, we recommend pausing the webinar at 25:00 and skipping ahead to 29:00.

CLF and our research partners at the Boston University CTE Center are proud to introduce BANK CTE, a groundbreaking research study aiming to identify a biomarker profile unique to CTE, which could help scientists eventually diagnose the disease in living patients through a simple blood test.

Hosted by CLF CEO Dr. Chris Nowinski and featuring Dr. Michael Alosco and Dr. Thor Stein of the BU CTE Center, this webinar discusses the game-changing potential of a blood-based diagnostic for CTE and explains who is eligible to enroll in the study. Former Super Bowl champion Peter Cronan also joins us to share why he chose to participate in this crucial research effort.
