Overview

Göran Wadell is affiliated with Umeå University in Sweden and has contributed to the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their research encompasses several subfields, including Genetics, Ecology, Molecular Biology, Animal Science and Zoology, and Infectious Diseases.

The scientist's main research topics cover various aspects of virology and genetic science. These include:

  • Virus-based gene therapy research
  • Bacteriophages and microbial interactions
  • CRISPR and Genetic Engineering
  • Animal Virus Infections Studies
  • Viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology

Göran Wadell has published papers primarily in the Journal of General Virology. Two recent papers are:

  • ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Adenoviridae 2022, published in 2022
  • Summary of taxonomy changes ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) from the Animal DNA Viruses and Retroviruses Subcommittee, 2025, published in 2025

Their research collaborations include frequent co-authorship with the following researchers:

  • Mária Benkő
  • Niklas Arnberg
  • Michael Heß
  • Győző L. Kaján
  • Adriana E. Kajon

The focus on virus classification and taxonomy, coupled with investigations into molecular mechanisms and viral-host interactions, characterizes their contribution to the scientific community, especially within virology and related genetics disciplines.
