His research focuses on the genomic basis of adaptability, robustness, and innate immune mechanisms in fish under aquaculture stress conditions. He investigates gene expression, immune responses, genome assembly, and environmental adaptation in species such as rainbow trout, pikeperch, maraena whitefish, and African catfish.

His recent publications span topics including genome assembly, microRNA characterization, dietary supplementation effects, salinity stress, fin function, and immune gene regulation. These works reflect a strong trend toward integrative genomics, functional immunology, and sustainable aquaculture practices, often employing transcriptomic and molecular techniques.

Tom Goldammer has served on the editorial advisory board of Chromosome Research since 2009 and is an active member of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG). He also coordinates the Campus BioFISCH MV project, supporting regional aquaculture innovation.

He has advised numerous researchers and collaborated widely, though specific student names are not listed in the provided texts. His work is supported by national and European funding initiatives.

He leads a research team focused on fish genetics and genomics, contributing significantly to the advancement of aquaculture science through molecular and genomic approaches.
