“We don’t say, how can we use an existing tool well? We look at the problem and say, how can we make a new tool that will allow us to answer questions much, much more effectively?” It’s how @KarlDeisseroth and his colleagues developed optogenetics.

Stanford’s @KarlDeisseroth knew that understanding the brain would take more than understanding its chemistry. He joined @bioe_stanford to work with people who could build tools to advance brain science. “I don't think I could have done what we did anywhere else, really.”

Nobel laureate @KarlDeisseroth came to neuroscience through words. His love of literature and writing drew him toward the human brain, and a required psychiatry rotation in medical school set him on the path to developing optogenetics. Here, he traces that journey.
