We are pleased to announce the 20 successful Discovery Award winners of the Longitude Prize on ALS, an initiative The 10,000 Brains Project is funding alongside other leading global ALS and MND organizations. Following a global call to action last year, the approximately $10 million Prize was awarded to 20 promising multidisciplinary teams, comprising over 70 organizations from 12 countries, with each team receiving approximately $135,000. These innovators will now use AI to identify and validate new drug targets for the treatment of ALS. To drive this discovery, the teams have been granted access to the largest and most comprehensive ALS patient dataset of its kind, combining multiple types of biological information, including the genomic sequences of 9,000 ALS patients and multi-omics data for over 2,000 cases.
