Congrats to Drs. Deisseroth, Hegemann, and Nagel, who received the #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine today. Their neuroscience research established #optogenetics, which involves using light pulses to explore and map the circuitry in the brain. buff.ly/X8y4fFh
Congratulations @deisseroth.bsky.social, #Peter Hegemann and #Georg Nagel! This is an amazing day for #optogenetics and #opsin research. All day I am simply happy and full of good memories - and so gratefull as well!
I just noticed that the #optogenetics graphic from the @nobelprize.org announcement uses Swedish fish @deisseroth.bsky.social π
Very cute, Nobel committee πππ
Pond algae just helped win a Nobel Prize. Respect. πΏβ‘ Deisseroth, Hegemann and Nagel win Medicine for optogenetics: switching brain cells on and off with light.
Since this year #NobelPrize is for #optogenetics, here is one of my favorite systems, the optoRas. Originally designed for neutrophils, I adapted this to my embryonic myeloid cells! I use it to induce a new protrusion and drives this EM cell to go backward. #MicroscopyMonday

Recognizing their pioneering development of #Optogenetics, The Nobel Assembly @ki.se has officially awarded the @nobelprize.org in Physiology or Medicine jointly to Karl @deisseroth.bsky.social, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel. Huge Congratulations π Learn More π www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medic...
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2026 Awarded for Optogenetics Breakthroughs
What can we do with #optogenetics? It takes us inside the "black box" of the human brain. Here's just one example of the marvelous neuroscience tools emerging from the work of Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel. engineering.washu.edu/news/2025/Pr... #ScienceSky #NeuroSky #NobelPrize π§ͺπ§
Fantastic news for the works that made #optogenetics possible!
Check out also a new opto-tech: at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social we are making #3dprinting #bioprinting able to tell cells where to be... and also what to do via light! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @erc.europa.eu
Wow! #Optogenetics FTW!
Truly transformative suite of techniques. Our paper would have been impossible without optogenetics. Congratulations to the winners. We can't thank you enough :)
Congratulations to ACNP member Karl Deisseroth, MD, PhD (@Stanford) on the 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine! He shares the honor with Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for discoveries in light-gated ion channels and #optogenetics. A proud day for our field. π§ π‘
Optogenetics finally wins the Nobel Prize after a two-decade wait. The technique that lets scientists control neurons with light now #Optogenetics #NobelPrize #Neuroscience #Science
