Professor and Chair. david.julius@ucsf.edu. +1 415 476-0431. Our group is interested in understanding how sensory systems enable us to perceive our world. In one aspect of our research, we exploit the power of natural products to elucidate molecular mechanisms of touch and pain sensation.
Oct 4, 2021 · David Julius’ discovery of TRPV1 was the breakthrough that allowed us to understand how differences in temperature can induce electrical signals in the nervous system. Research under pressure!
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2021 was awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian "for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch"
May 10, 2024 · David Julius, American physiologist who discovered heat- and cold-sensing receptors in the nerve endings of the skin. His elucidation of a receptor known as TRPV1 gave new insight into how the human nervous system senses heat, cold, and pain. He was a recipient of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Oct 4, 2021 · David Julius, a 1977 graduate of MIT, won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He shares the prize with Ardem Patapoutian for discoveries in how the body senses touch and temperature.
