Henningsohn's research bridges urological oncology and medical education. His oncology work investigates patient-reported outcomes in Peyronie's disease and bladder/prostate cancer, emphasizing mental health, relationship stability, and rehabilitation. In education, he pioneers interprofessional knowledge cafes, vernissage seminars, and digital tools like KIUrologyX MOOC to modernize clinical training within resource-constrained healthcare systems.

• Peyronie's disease epidemiology using Swedish registries
• Exercise interventions post-cystectomy
• Urology curriculum standardization in Europe
• Virtual patient technology in medical education

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2020-2025) reveals two dominant themes: population-based urological oncology studies examining psychosocial impacts of genital disorders and controlled trials of rehabilitation protocols, alongside medical education research focused on digital pedagogy and European curriculum harmonization. His oncology work leverages Sweden's national registries for large cohort analyses, while education research emphasizes student autonomy and technology-enhanced learning.

Lars Henningsohn has supervised Helena Thulin's PhD thesis on cystectomy outcomes and served as thesis opponent for 8 doctoral candidates at Sahlgrenska Academy, Örebro University, and Karolinska Institutet. His academic service includes reviewing candidates for Associate Professor positions at Karolinska Institutet (2021) and Umeå University (2020), reflecting institutional leadership beyond his departmental role.
