Longitude Prize on ALS
Funds AI-driven ALS drug-discovery teams through four stages worth up to £7.5 million total.
Teams progress through four stages over more than five years: Discovery (20 teams receive £100,000 to identify therapeutic targets), Prioritise (10 of those teams receive a further £200,000 to build the evidence base), Validate (5 teams receive £500,000 for wet-lab validation), and a final Winner stage where one team receives £1,000,000. An expert panel assesses and judges teams between each stage…
The prize backs teams that apply artificial-intelligence methods to speed up drug discovery for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), the most common subtype of motor neurone disease. It funds work that finds and confirms strong new drug targets for the condition.
