Rewatch the 2024 Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize Ceremony, where Rusty Gage, PhD, was honored for pioneering stem cell biology of the central nervous system and of age-related neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders using reprogrammed cells.

Held on December 3, 2024, at Gladstone Institutes, this event celebrated Gage’s achievements as he accepted the prestigious $150,000 prize and delivered a scientific lecture on his groundbreaking research.

About the 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 Betty and Hiro Ogawa Family. It also recognizes the importance of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), discovered by Gladstone Senior Investigator and Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD. Chosen by a committee of peers, the awardee receives an unrestricted prize of $150,000. The prize is supported by Gladstone and Cell Press.
