Alzheimer’s AI competition to seek new treatments is planned for spring 2027

GoodfireAI announced the Alzheimer’s Translation Challenge, a global AI competition led by Prima Mente and AlzData to look for new Alzheimer’s treatments. It says participants will build models using an atlas of 150 million neurons, astrocytes and microglia. Models will undergo evaluations, and shortlisted teams’ hypotheses will be tested in Prima Mente’s wet lab. GoodfireAI said registration was open on October 8, 2026, with the competition set to start in spring 2027.
