Con cui desiderammo allora,
Noi già sommersi,
Di potere ancora una volta insieme
Camminare liberi sotto il sole.”

“Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.”

~ Primo Levi, Auschwitz survivor.

Did you miss the announcement of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine?

Watch these highlights to find out how our new laureates, Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel started their day.

[Yair Einhorn @yaireinhorn]

🚨🚨WOW! This is absolutely amazing to see that Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel have won the Nobel prize in medicine for their optogenetic research! Visual optogenetics is a therapeutic modality that uses Gene Therapy to deliver a light-sensitive protein to cells in the retina. This mechanism of entering light to the eye can then stimulate these cells to produce a visual signal that is sent to the brain and thus “overriding” the retinal cells and to restore vision to vision impaired patients. This mechanism is already in clinical development and the most advanced optogenetic therapy is currently Nanoscope Therapeutics’ MOGENRY (formally known MCO-010) - an Optogenetic Gene Therapy aimed to restore vision in Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) patients with a severe vision loss which is waiting for an FDA approval! Absolutely amazing!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

To understand how the brain forms memories, feelings and behaviours has long been a dream for researchers.

Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel have been awarded the 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries leading to optogenetics, which makes it possible to switch on, or off, the activity of individual nerve cells in a living brain.

This method is now being used in laboratories around the world to reveal the brain’s mysteries.

[Karl Deisseroth @KarlDeisseroth]

Thanks to everyone sharing in this moment!
I’m so grateful to my trainees & collaborators…
