Congratulations to @KarlDeisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel on the Nobel Prize! I feel very lucky to have learned from all three, from their brilliant science and from their generosity to the scientific community.
The Nobel Prize
@NobelPrizeOct 5
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.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of antibiotic-resistant-associated deaths worldwide. In #MRAJournal, researchers report the deposition of 14 structures of enzymes from the core & accessory genomes of a hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strain. asm.social/126
Status of Klebsiella pneumoniae pipeline targets. Structures of proteins deposited with the indicated PDB codes for 13 targets from the K. pneumoniae structure determination pipeline are depicted as cartoons with ?-helices colored red, ?-strands colored yellow, and loops colored lime green. Proteins found in the core genome are framed in light blue and those derived from the accessory genome are in pink. The pie chart details the percentage of targets currently at each stage in the pipeline.
