The Nobel prize in physiology or medicine ۲۰۲۶ has been awarded to three scientists for their work on investigating the mysteries of the brain.
Karl Deisseroth of both Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Stanford University, Peter Hegemann of the Humboldt University of Berlin, and Georg Nagel of the University of Würzburg have been awarded the prize “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”.
The Nobel assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, announced the winners on Monday. They will share a prize of ۱۲m Swedish kronor (about £۹۰۱,۵۰۰).
The ۲۰۲۶ award is the ۱۱۷th time the prize has been given. Out of the ۲۳۵ laureates – including the latest winners – only ۱۴ have been women.
