Overview

Børre Robertsen is a researcher affiliated with the University of Tromsø - The Arctic University of Norway. Their work focuses primarily on the fields of Immunology and Microbiology as well as Medicine. Within these broader areas, they specialize in Immunology, Epidemiology, and Cancer Research.

The scientist has contributed to multiple research topics, highlighting the following key areas:

  • Interferon and immune responses
  • Aquaculture disease management and microbiota
  • Cancer-related molecular mechanisms research
  • Influenza Virus Research Studies
  • Hepatitis B Virus Studies

Robertsen's recent publications include two papers:

  • "Atlantic salmon type I interferon genes revisited," published in 2024 in Fish & Shellfish Immunology
  • "Medfødt immunitet mot virus- interferonsystemet," published in 2020 in Naturen

Their research has appeared primarily in two scientific journals:

  • Fish & Shellfish Immunology
  • Naturen

Collaboration is also part of Robertsen's work, with frequent co-authorship including Linn Greiner-Tollersrud.
