Alzheimer's Translation Challenge launches with 150M cell atlas for AI hypothesis discovery

Prima Mente and AlzData are launching the Alzheimer's Translation Challenge, a global AI competition to discover new therapeutic hypotheses for Alzheimer's disease.

The challenge centers on a 150M cell atlas of neurons, astrocytes, and microglia across different genetic backgrounds under combinatorial perturbations, with multi-modal readouts.

Top teams will have their hypotheses tested in Prima Mente's wet lab, and the data will be available through the AD workbench, Hugging Face, and Prima Mente's modeling platform.
