Nina Nemova is a Doctor of Biology, the first Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Karelia, Leader of a KarRC RAS's research area, Principal Researcher of the Ecological Biochemistry Laboratory of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS.
Since graduating from the Faculty of Biology of the Petrozavodsk State University in 1972, Nina Nemova has been working at the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS. For twenty years, from 1996 to 2016, she was its director. In June 2022, Nina Nemova was elected an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This status is bestowed on scientists who have enriched science with works of paramount scientific importance.
Nina Nikolaevna is a Merited Scientist of Karelia and Russia. In 2010, Nina Nikolaevna was awarded the Order of Friendship. In 2021, following the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Nina Nemova was awarded the Order of Honor for her great contribution to the development of science and for years of devoted work.
Her main research areas are ecological biochemistry, biology of animal development, toxicology and aquaculture. The Academician's scientific interests include:
• strategies and mechanisms of adaptations in aquatic organisms studied using the comparative-evolutionary and ecological-biochemical approaches;
• freshwater and marine fishes and aquatic invertebrates of different taxonomic groups in the arctic and subarctic regions; methods for assessing their condition under impacts of various nature and under climate fluctuations;
• general mechanisms and specific features of the genesis of biochemical variation during the growth and development of salmonid fishes in wild populations and in aquaculture;
• biochemical mechanisms behind the development of adaptive responses in living organisms at different stages of evolutionary development; prediction of possible changes in aquatic ecosystems.
Nina Nemova is the author of more than 600 academic papers, leader of projects of different levels, scientific supervisor of doctoral and post-doctoral candidates.
Nina Nikolaevna has a few times been named a Laureate of the Year of the Republic of Karelia.

Karelian biologists ran successful trials of a technique for detecting fish infection with helminths based on traces of their DNA in water
Specialists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS were the first in the republic to test the method of environmental DNA analysis (eDNA) to detect a model fish parasite in an area impacted by trout farms. This is especially important in the context of a growing number of fish farms that use the practice of transporting stock (fry) from between water bodies, which creates a risk of new parasites appearing in lakes. Currently, fish have to be captured and examined to detect an infection, and for the output to be accurate the sample should be at least 15 fish. This may be problematic in the wild and costly in cage facilities. The eDNA diagnosis system can detect the presence of parasites directly in water samples.
