Boston University CTE Center

Thank you to @BU_Tweets and @BUexperts for the new series “CTE: How BU Is Changing the Game.” We are grateful for the opportunity to share a more in-depth look at our research and the work that our team does everyday. And most of all, we are grateful to highlight the critical role of our brain donor families who generously and bravely contribute to this work and continue to share their stories. It is an honor to work with these families and our work is not possible without each and every one of them.

We look forward to sharing more as we work toward new milestones and research achievements.

Stay tuned to learn more and you can check out the five-part series now at: bu.edu/brink/series/c…
