Rate My Professor Erik Larsson Lekholm

Larsson Lekholm's influential publications appear in leading journals, including 'Non-coding driver mutations in human cancer' (Nature Reviews Cancer, 2021), 'Independent somatic evolution underlies clustered neuroendocrine tumors in the human small intestine' (Nature Communications, 2021), 'Somatic mutation distribution across tumour cohorts provides a signal for positive selection in cancer' (Nature Communications, 2022), 'Base-resolution UV footprinting by sequencing reveals distinctive damage signatures for DNA-binding proteins' (Nature Communications, 2023), 'Mechanistic basis of atypical TERT promoter mutations' (Nature Communications, 2024), and 'Ribonucleotide incorporation into mitochondrial DNA drives inflammation' (Nature, 2025). He received the Wallenberg Academy Fellow prolongation grant in 2020, supporting establishment of his wet lab and subprojects on skin cancer mutations, and the Eric K. Fernström Prize for young researchers in 2018 for groundbreaking work combining bioinformatics and experimental approaches to understand cancer mutation processes. His contributions advance cancer genomics by enhancing interpretation of DNA sequencing data and identification of clinically relevant changes.
