What a beautiful Nobel Prize. Huge congratulations to @KarlDeisseroth , Hegemann and Nagel — and to the @NobelPrize Committee! 👏
A wonderful story of serendipity, curiosity and generous sharing.
A great reminder of what curiosity-driven science and open sharing can lead to. 🔬💡
BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”
Happy to see our paper, led by outstanding postdoc Alessandra Esposito, out in @Nature today. We uncovered a TBK1/ULK1 signaling pathway that acts as a lysosome quality control mechanism, regulating the FLCN-TFEB axis in response to lysosomal stress
