Alexander Rebl

Dr. Alexander Rebl is a Scientist in the Fish Genetics working group at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf, Germany. His research focuses on understanding immunological and stress-induced physiological mechanisms to optimize aquaculture health concepts and genomic differences related to immunocompetence in fish species.

Dr. Rebl's education includes:

• PhD in Molecular Biology, University of Rostock (2004-2007)
• Diploma in Biology, University of Rostock (1999-2004)

His research spans fish immunology, stress physiology, and aquaculture genetics, with particular emphasis on:

• Genomic differences in aquaculture species
• Mucosal immune responses
• Stress-induced physiological mechanisms
• Dietary interventions for health optimization

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on stress responses, viral pathogenesis, and nutritional interventions in salmonids and percids. Research trends show increasing integration of transcriptomics, metabolomics, and microbiome analyses to understand fish health.

Dr. Rebl leads a research team investigating:

• Temperature effects on immune development
• Microbiome modulation through dietary supplements
• Genetic basis of disease resistance

Ongoing projects include characterization of novel miRNAs in fish development and stress response mechanisms in recirculating aquaculture systems.
