Overview

Göran E. Nilsson is affiliated with the University of Oslo in Norway. Their research spans multiple fields of study, with significant contributions in Environmental Science and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. These broad fields intersect with focused subfields such as Ecology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Physiology, and Oceanography.

The scientist's work addresses various main topics including physiological and biochemical adaptations, high altitude and hypoxia, mitochondrial function and pathology, adipose tissue and metabolism, ocean acidification effects and responses, coral and marine ecosystems studies, and fish ecology and management studies.

Among their recent papers, Nilsson has contributed to the following:

  • Methods matter in repeating ocean acidification studies, 2020, Nature
  • The Metabolomic Response of Crucian Carp (Carassius carassius) to Anoxia and Reoxygenation Differs between Tissues and Hints at Uncharacterized Survival Strategies, 2021, Metabolites
  • Rapid physiological and transcriptomic changes associated with oxygen delivery in larval anemonefish suggest a role in adaptation to life on hypoxic coral reefs, 2023, PLoS Biology
  • H2S-producing enzymes in anoxia-tolerant vertebrates: Effects of cold acclimation, anoxia exposure and reoxygenation on gene and protein expression, 2020, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
  • Surviving without oxygen involves major tissue specific changes in the proteome of crucian carp (Carassius carassius), 2023, PeerJ

Nilsson frequently publishes in the Journal of Experimental Biology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry. They also have publications in Nature and Metabolites.

Collaboration is a notable aspect of Nilsson's research approach. They have collaborated extensively with several researchers, including Sjannie Lefevre, Philip L. Munday, Megan J. Welch, Mark I. McCormick, and Timothy Ravasi.
