MIND Prize
@MindPrize
The MIND (Maximizing Innovation in Neuroscience Discovery) Prize empowers investigators to rethink conventional paradigms around neurodegenerative diseases.











Check out the MIT news release on our latest publication. We have developed tiny, injectable magnetoelectric antenna that can wirelessly power deep-tissue medical implants, without bulky batteries or invasive surgery. This ultra-small device — smaller than a grain of sand — harvests low-frequency magnetic fields and converts them into electric charge via a magnetostrictive + piezoelectric film. The result: 4–5 orders of magnitude more power than similarly sized conventional antennas. It opens doors to battery-free pacemakers, neuromodulators (for epilepsy, Parkinson’s), and continuous biosensors, all placed via needle rather than major surgery.

A study from the #StellerLab in @PNASNews finds that boosting PI31 can prevent neuronal degeneration, restore synaptic function, and significantly extend lifespan in fly and mouse models of rare genetic disorders similar to Parkinson’s. #RockefellerScience rockefeller.edu/news/38266-inc…

“This award feels like a milestone in the recognition of our work identifying new bone #stemcells,” said @WCMCPathology's Dr. Matthew Greenblatt on earning the prestigious Paul-Gallin Trailblazer Prize for Physician-Scientists from @FNIH_Org! news.weill.cornell.edu/news/2025/08/d…
