Nirenberg was the first federal scientist to receive a Nobel Prize.* Dr. Patapoutian is a professor of neuroscience at Scripps Research in La Jolla\, Calif.\, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. He shared his 2021 Nobel Prize with David Julius of UCSF "for the discovery of receptors for temperature and touch." Specifically\, Patapoutian has characterized the PIEZO1\, PIEZO2\, and TRPM8 receptors that detect pressure\, temperature\, and menthol. For this Nirenberg Lecture\, Patapoutian will speak on his latest research on the structure–function relationships of Piezo proteins and their roles in somatosensation and interoception. \n\nFor more information go to https://oir.nih.gov/wals https://oir.nih.gov/wals X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n\n
