Even Jørgensen

Biography

"Dr. Even Jørgensen is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Arctic and marine biology, University of Tromso , Norway. His research interests includes Even Jørgensen interest relates to the fascinating adaptations developed by fish living in a tough and changing environment at high latitudes. The anadrome (sea migrating) life strategy of the rye ( Salvelinus alpinus) is a dominant and highly taxed research model. This model is used to provide knowledge of how the brain regulates appetite and energy balance in a species that alternates between long-term absence of appetite (anorexia) throughout the winter in freshwater and intense eating activity through the short sea water stay in the summer. Furthermore, there is a focus on how hormonal axes that regulate smoltification (preparation for stay in the sea) and stress integrate with the mechanisms that regulate appetite, as these mechanisms coincide in time. Last but not least, it is important to acquire knowledge of how seasonal processes such as smoltification ""times"" to the right time of year. Studies are conducted in field and under controlled conditions in the lab. He is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. Even Jørgensen is the member of many international affiliations. He has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities.
