Description

The MIND Prize, offered by Pershing Square Philanthropies, aims to empower early-to-mid-career investigators who are pursuing radically innovative and interdisciplinary research in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia. The initiative seeks to revolutionize the prediction, prevention, and treatment of NDDs by advancing fundamental understanding of the brain and cognition. The prize encourages high-risk, high-reward projects that may be too speculative for traditional funding sources, spanning areas such as neurobiology, brain imaging, machine learning, drug delivery, and synthetic biology. Awardees benefit from facilitated networking, mentorship, and participation in a unique community of pioneering researchers.
