00:01The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to U.S. psychiatrist and neurologist Karl Deseroth and his German
00:08colleagues Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for their work on optogenetics.
00:15The technique allows researchers to use light to control specific nerve cells and study how they shape memories, feelings and
00:22behavior in the living brain.
00:25The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute said their discoveries had laid the foundations for a new era in neuroscience.
00:34Nobel Committee Chair Per Svenningsen said optogenetics offer opportunities to map the brain in ways scientists could only once dream
00:42of.
00:43We are joined jointly to Karl Deseroth.
00:45Optogenetics is now being used in laboratories around the world and experts call the findings critical to understanding autoimmune diseases
00:53such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
00:581.1 million euros in prize money will be shared between these three laureates and the award ceremony will take
01:04place on December the 10th.
