Nobel Prize in Medicine 2026<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2026<\/b><\/a> has been awarded jointly to <\/span>Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel<\/b> for their <\/span>discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics<\/b>. The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet announced the award on <\/span>5 October 2026<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their research established the scientific foundation of <\/span>optogenetics<\/b>, a technique that allows scientists to control the activity of specific nerve cells using light. This has transformed the study of the brain and helped researchers understand how neural activity influences behaviour, emotions and other complex brain functions.<\/span><\/p>\n
