May 9, 2024 · Tomas Lindahl is a Swedish biochemist known for his discovery of base excision repair, a major mechanism of DNA repair, by which cells maintain their genetic integrity. Base excision repair corrects damage sustained by individual DNA bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine), which frequently.
Tomas Robert Lindahl is a Swedish scientist specialising in DNA damage and repair. He was director of the Clare Hall Laboratories from 1986 to 2005 and has been awarded many prizes and awards for his work including the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, jointly awarded in 2015.
Telephone interview with Tomas Lindahl following the announcement of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 7 October 2015. The interviewer is Adam Smith, Chief Scientific Officer of Nobel Media.
Through biochemical studies in the 1970s, Tomas Lindahl found that DNA strands were subjected to thousands of potentially damaging influences every day. He realized that, while most of these incidents proved harmless, DNA strands failed so frequently that the development of life should be impossible.
Oct 7, 2015 · Tomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich and Aziz Sancar “mapped, at a molecular level, how cells repair damaged DNA and safeguard the genetic information”, says the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in...
Tomas Lindahl studies the operation of cellular DNA repair mechanisms and their relation to the fields of cancer therapy and inherited genetic disorders. His work has helped to measure rates of DNA decay and identify a number of proteins involved in DNA repair.
The Royal Swedish Academy awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2015 to Tomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich and Aziz Sancar for their discoveries in fundamental mechanisms of DNA repair.
May 4, 2017 · In 1969, Tomas Lindahl set out to tackle a question that seemed so far-fetched at the time that he didn’t even apply for a grant. Instead, to study the stability or instability of DNA exerimentally, he used money he had been awarded beforehand.
