Karl Deisseroth woke up his daughters in their pajamas to joyfully announce that he had won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, sharing the award for his discoveries in optogenetics. #Nobel #Scienza #Optogenetica (translated)
Repubblica reported that Karl Deisseroth received the news of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine shortly after midnight, awarded to him along with Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel, and waited until morning to share it with his five children. The video of the family scene was published by Stanford University in California, where Deisseroth trained and worked as a professor of bioengineering, psychiatry, and behavioral sciences. According to Repubblica, the three scientists laid the foundations of optogenetics, which combines genetics and optics to study cell behavior and control nerve signals with light. Their studies allowed for detailed observation of the brain, even intervening in the activity of single nerve cells in a living organism. The method was used in laboratories around the world to study how emotions and memories are organized. #Nobel #Medicina #Scienza (translated)

The Nobel Prize in Medicine for 2026 was awarded to researchers Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for their discoveries regarding light-activated ion channels and optogenetics, methods used to uncover the mysteries of the brain. #NobelPrize #medicină #cercetare (translated)
"This technique is a perfect bridge between molecular biology, engineering, and neuroscience, and for the future - he added - interesting applications for vision and the nervous system are opening up." This Nobel laureate defined it as a "triumph of interdisciplinarity," said geneticist Giuseppe Novelli from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
"It is a great honor, incredible and unexpected," said Deisseroth, who had just gone to sleep after working on an article late into the night, after his children had fallen asleep. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)

The Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to Georg Nagel, Peter Hegemann, and Karl Deisseroth for their groundbreaking work in optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control nerve cells, opening new avenues in the study of the brain and the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
Karl Deisseroth, a neuroscientist, wondered along with his research group whether it was possible to use that protein to control specific groups of neurons, selecting them from the billions of nerve cells that make up the brain. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
After studying the phenomenon with various experiments, Hegemann hypothesized that the alga contained a protein capable of both sensing light and opening a small channel in the cell membrane of the alga. #NobelMedicina #Optogenetica #Neuroscienze (translated)
