The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.
Their research helped establish optogenetics, a method that allows scientists to switch the activity of individual nerve cells on or off using light. The technique is now used in laboratories around the world to study the living brain and understand its complex functions.
The three scientists will share the 2026 Nobel Prize award of 12 million Swedish kronor.
