It was a pleasure to introduce our @ERiskstudy to the activity we have here at the brain bank!
👯‍♀️ Our twin study team recently visited the King's Brain Bank 🧠 at the @SGDPCentreKCL within the @KingsIoPPN! We study how genes and life experiences shape mental health. Seeing how donated brain tissue helps research gave us a new perspective on how it all connects.
