2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine Awarded to Deisseroth, Hegemann and Nagel
Original: 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: Deisseroth, Hegemann, Nagel
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel. The three are widely associated with the development of optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control nerve cells, which has transformed neuroscience research. The announcement is drawing broad attention as one of the most anticipated prizes in science.
Why now: The Nobel Prize announcements always attract major global attention, and this one honors pioneers of optogenetics, a long-rumored candidate for the award.
