Jorunn Jørgensen

Jorunn Jørgensen is a Professor at the Norwegian Fisheries College, UiT The Arctic University of Norway. She specializes in fish immunology, focusing on antiviral immune mechanisms, B cell biology, and vaccine development in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Her research spans molecular immunology, immune signaling pathways, and host-pathogen interactions.

• Affiliation: Norwegian Fisheries College, UiT The Arctic University of Norway
• Research Themes: Fish antiviral immunity, B cell dynamics, pattern recognition receptors, vaccine adjuvants, immune gene regulation

Scientific Contributions: Her recent work explores transcriptomic responses to Piscine orthoreovirus, spatial B cell distribution, and CRISPR-Cas gene editing in immune signaling. She investigates how microbial motifs (e.g., CpG DNA) activate immune pathways and affect viral replication. Projects include Vaccine adjuvant studies and exosome-mediated immune stimulation in salmon.

• Key Collaborations: Espen Rimstad, Ingvill Jensen, Dimitar Borisov Iliev, Shiferaw Jenberie
