An Afternoon With Karl Deisseroth, MD, PhD

On March 29, 2022, the Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences hosted Karl Deisseroth, winner of the 2021 Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for his revolutionary discovery of light-sensitive microbial proteins that can activate or silence individual brain cells. Deisseroth is a member of the National Academies of Engineering, Medicine, Inventors and Sciences.

Deisseroth’s recent book, “Projections: A Story of Human Emotions,” is a groundbreaking tour of the human mind that illuminates the biological nature of our inner worlds and emotions, through gripping, moving — and, at times, harrowing — clinical stories.
Karl Deisseroth 3.29.2022.
