Kuwait News: Nobel in Medicine for Genetic Optics
American researcher Carl Dissroth and Germans Peter Hiegemann and Jörg Nagel received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for 2026 for their contributions to optical genetics, which have allowed a better understanding of how certain cells influence behaviors such as learning, fear, and addiction, as well as the treatment of neurological and sensory disorders. Their discovery of the "Chanel Rhodopsin" protein, which can activate or deactivate neural circuits using light, has contributed to the development of techniques for understanding brain functions and treating conditions like Parkinson's disease and epilepsy. It is expected that this field will lead to future therapeutic innovations.
