Big congratulations @KarlDeisseroth ! I feel very fortunate to have spent several years learning from you. Very well deserved!
Congratulations to our first #NobelPrize laureate of 2026 🎉
Early this morning Karl Deisseroth found out he was awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
He seems very happy with the news!

U.S. News just ranked MIT #1 among National Universities for the first time, after several years at #2. A great testament to the amazing students, staff, and faculty who make this place so special. It’s a magical place, and we are fortunate to call it home and share our work with the world.
A warm welcome Olga @EreminaOE Looking forward to your great new research and perhaps our group interaction.
It’s official! The Eremina Lab opens at @UTChemistry in January 2027! We’ll unite nanotechnology, analytical chemistry, Raman spectroscopy & molecular imaging to study health and disease. Recruiting postdocs & grad students–pls repost & reach out.
Stay tuned! Hook ’em Horns! 🤘
