Two medical researchers whose work is central to progress in understanding Alzheimer disease are co-winners of the 2003 Potamkin Prize for Research in Pick’s, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Related Disorders, awarded by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). Sharing the honors of the $100,000 Potamkin Prize are David M. Holtzman, MD, professor of neurology at the Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, and Ashley I. Bush, MD, PhD, professor of neurology, Harvard Medical School. The Potamkin Prize is made possible by the philanthropic contributions of the Potamkin family of New York, Philadelphia, and Miami. The goal of the prize is to help attract the best medical minds and most dedicated scientists in the world to the field of dementia research. Alzheimer Disease and Associated Disorders is most pleased to congratulate Drs. Holtzman and Bush on their well-deserved honor as co-winners of the 2003 Potamkin Prize. The Potamkin Prize was awarded at the 55th Annual Meeting of the AAN annual meeting at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu on April 2, 2003. Similar to the Nobel Prize for medicine, the Potamkin Prize recognizes and rewards investigators for their work in helping advance the understanding of Alzheimer disease and related disorders. Now in its 16th year, the Prize is sponsored by the Potamkin Foundation and the AAN.“The research efforts of Dr. Holtzman and Dr. Bush have provided the important basic foundation for understanding how to treat the pathology related to amyloid accumulation in the brain, one of the significant risk factors associated with Alzheimer’s disease,” said Roger N. Rosenberg MD, member of the Potamkin Prize Committee and past President of the
