Ryan Corces Wins MIND Prize For Alzheimer's Research
Gladstone investigator Ryan Corces has been named a 2026 Pershing Square Foundation MIND Prize winner, announced April 7, receiving $750,000 over three years. He will use artificial intelligence and CRISPR to identify novel genetic variants in families with hereditary Alzheimer's disease lacking known mutations. The work aims to uncover new genetic drivers and therapeutic targets to improve early intervention strategies.
Scoring Rationale
Credible same-day announcement of significant funding for a research program combining AI and CRISPR. Scored for strong credibility and relevance to genomics and ML, moderate novelty and scope since it funds planned work rather than reporting results.
