Elizabeth Pollina, an associate professor of developmental biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has been awarded the 2025 MIND Prize from the Pershing Square Foundation. The MIND (Maximizing Innovation in Neuroscience Discovery) Prize finances research conducted by early- to mid-career scholars who are making groundbreaking and pioneering contributions to the understanding, prevention, and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Among six researchers to be granted the accolade this year, Pollina will be awarded $250,000 each year over three years to support her research endeavors.
