Nobel announces 2026 Med Prize Winners
The 2026 Nobel Prize has announced the laureates: three scientists—Carl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and George Nagel—who have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries in controlling nerve cells using light through the development of optogenetics. This field enables researchers to precisely control the activity of neurons, opening new horizons for understanding brain functions and treating neurological disorders. Each laureate receives an amount close to one million dollars. The ceremony aims to honor them on December 10th in Stockholm, coinciding with the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.
