New Zealand Brain Research Institute
Cas van der Veer was a Canterbury businessman who didn't let Parkinson's disease get in the way of leading a full life. He wanted others to benefit from his success by providing a place where the best possible care and treatment for Parkinson's would be available, informed by the latest research.
With a generous bequest, he entrusted his vision to the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation. Working together with local researchers, in 2004 the Van der Veer Institute for Parkinson's & Brain Research was founded. In November 2011, due to its growth and diversification, the organisation became the New Zealand Brain Research Institute.
