Researchers worldwide, including at EMBL, have used and modified this technology to make exciting life science discoveries, especially in the fields of neuroscience, embryonic development, and cellular mechanobiology.

[EMBL @embl]

EMBL congratulates Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel on winning the 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.

[EMBL @embl]

Optogenetics is a method that uses channelrhodopsin, a protein first identified in algae, as a light-controlled switch in cells.

[EMBL @embl]

How does an embryo switch from relying on maternal molecules to activating its own genome?

Researchers at EMBL Rome reveal that this transition is driven by a flexible and coordinated process of genome activation.
