👥Biography 个人简介
Tomas Lindahl shared the 2015 Nobel Prize for discovering base excision repair (BER) — the cellular mechanism for correcting damaged DNA bases including those resulting from hydrolysis, oxidation, and alkylation. His discovery that DNA is inherently unstable and requires continuous repair, and his characterization of BER enzymes including DNA glycosylases and PARP1's role in BER, has been foundational to understanding cancer mutations and to the development of PARP inhibitor cancer therapy.
