Repository of genetic samples from approximately 3,000 families, each of which has one child affected with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and parents unaffected with ASD. A central database characterizing all of the study subjects is available to any qualified researcher and biospecimens are freely available to SFARI grant holders, and to other researchers on a modest fee-for-use basis. Each genetic sample will have an associated collection of data that provides a precise characterization of the individual (phenotype). Rigorous phenotyping will maximize the value of the resource for a wide variety of future research projects into the causes and mechanisms of autism. The Simons Simplex Collection is operated by SFARI in collaboration with twelve university-affiliated research clinics.

The CEI Science & Technology Network (S&TN), launched at the beginning of 2004, is composed of sevenTrieste-based research centres and their partners in the CEI region. With the aim to strengthen scientific and technological cooperation, the S&TN provides financial support for the organization of seminars, conferences, workshops and training courses. Young scientists from CEI countries, especially non-EU member States, are offered the opportunity to attend such activities and carry out scientific research on various topics in one of the seven Lead Institutions (LIs). The area of cooperation of each Lead Institution is separately defined in a three-year Protocol complemented by an annual Work Programme. During 2004-2009, the Network''s Lead Institutions implemented a number of activities, some of which in partnership with other institutions from CEI countries. This cooperation started up the Secondary Network whose further enhancement will be the main challenge in the future years. The CEI Research Fellowship Programme The CEI Research Fellowship Programme was established in 2005 to enable mobility across the CEI region by giving selected scientists the possibility of carrying out research in one of the Network''s Lead Institutions. In the time-frame 2005 - 2009, the request for fellowships has constantly increased and witnessed the effectiveness of the Programme. Taking this into account, in 2008 the CEI-ES started to explore EU funding opportunities in order to develop its Research Fellowship Programme. A joint proposal named CERES (CEI Research Fellowship Programme) was submitted to the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7). CERES was approved and is currently under implementation. EU Funding opportunities for the CEI Science & Technology Network Following the successful experience of CERES, the CEI-ES, along with the Network''s Lead Institutions, will continue to look into funding opportunities offered by the EU with the ultimate aim to support mobility of researchers across the CEI area and promote significant progress in the S&T sector.

The Central England Haemato-Oncology Research Biobank stores excess material from oncology samples referred for diagnostic testing and disease monitoring at the West Midlands Regional Genetics Laboratory (WMRGL). The bank is housed within the WMRGL. Types of material stored include viable cells, fixed cell suspensions, DNA, RNA / cDNA, and plasma. The material is made available to all cancer research groups both locally and nationally. Excess sample (mainly from blood and bone marrow) is stored from diagnostic patient material and from samples received throughout their disease course. The WMRGL serves a population of about 5.5 million and is the largest UK NHS genetic Lab. Due to the large patient population CEHRB is able to collate sufficient research material from all classifications of neoplastic haematological disorders including those that are rare.

As an umbrella organization for medical research networks, the TMF is responsible for improving the organization and infrastructure of medical research in networked structures. It supports researchers at the various locations in jointly identifying and solving problems of an organizational, legal and technical nature that are often not associated with the particular clinical problem or research focus. The network not only focuses on legal and ethical frameworks for networked medical research but also on the development of IT infrastructure, quality management activities for science-initiated trials and questions on the intermeshing of research and patient care. Under the umbrella organization of the TMF, expert opinions, studies, concepts, requirements specifications, services and tools are created. The products of the cooperation within the TMF are available to the research community. The aims of joint work in the TMF are: * Improvement of medical research in terms of quality, organization and cooperation * Solution of questions spanning networked medical research, e.g. on the collection, processing and exchange of research data * Clarification of the legal and ethical foundations for performing medical research * Issues of quality assurance and quality management * Development and extension of efficient IT infrastructures and their implementation in cross-institutional networked structures * Realization of cross-location solutions * Contributions to sustainable and efficient health research by means of the improved transfer of research findings to patient care

A labeled three-dimensional atlas of the human brain created from MRI images. In conjunction are presented anatomically labeled stained sections that correspond to the three-dimensional MRI images. The stained sections are from a different brain than the one which was scanned for the MRI images. Also available the major anatomical features of the human hypothalamus, axial sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers, at six rostro-caudal levels of the human brain stem; images and Quicktime movies. The MRI subject was a 22-year-old adult male. Differing techniques used to study the anatomy of the human brain all have their advantages and disadvantages. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the three-dimensional viewing of the brain and structures, precise spatial relationships and some differentiation between types of tissue, however, the image resolution is somewhat limited. Stained sections, on the other hand, offer excellent resolution and the ability to see individual nuclei (cell stain) or fiber tracts (myelin stain), however, there are often spatial distortions inherent in the staining process. The nomenclature used is from Paxinos G, and Watson C. 1998. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 4th ed. Academic Press. San Diego, CA. 256 pp
