THE 2026 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE
Congratulations to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel, awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their pioneering work in optogenetics. Their work provided to neuroscientists a powerful tool to better understand the brain, inspiring an entire generation of researchers.
This recognition has a special meaning for Doric Lenses:
Back in 2007, we received a special request from Karl Deisseroth’s team to find solutions to deliver light to the brain of freely moving animals. This collaboration led to the development of chronic optical fiber cannulas and optical fiber rotary joints.
Without the Deisseroth Lab, we would not be where we are today!
Live-cell, organoid & assembloid imaging
Capture the dynamic calcium activity across hundreds of neurons simultaneously. Visualize large-scale neural activity across intact 3D organoids to validate emerging organoid and assembloid models.
DazzLED
High-throughput optogenetics stimulation: one light source for all your multi-animals and/or multi-site experiements.
Fluorescence Lifetime Fiber Photometry
Beyond intensity - measure lifetime.
Quantify tonic, relative baseline & slow-state dynamics via picosecond changes in fluorescence lifetime, in freely-moving animals.
Wireless Systems
Both OPTOGENETICS and FIBER PHOTOMETRY SYSTEMS now have a wireless solution for experiments requiring multiple, interacting animals. Ideal for recording / manipulating the neural populations underlying social behaviors.
