History

Gladstone Institutes was established in 1979 through a generous endowment from J. David Gladstone, who left his estate to support medical students interested in research. The trustees in charge of J. David Gladstone’s estate made some bold decisions to turn the original vision into something much larger that would have a huge global impact.

Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize

The Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize recognizes individuals whose original translational research has advanced cellular reprogramming technology for regenerative medicine. The prize was established in 2015 through a generous gift from the late Hiro and Betty Ogawa, and is supported by Gladstone Institutes and the Cell Press group. It also recognizes Gladstone Senior Investigator Shinya Yamanaka, who discovered induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
