April 15th is the anniversary of Nina Nemova, RAS Academician, Research Area Leader at KarRC RAS. We cordially congratulate Nina Nikolaevna and with her health, longevity, and vigor! May your experience, wisdom and inexhaustible optimism continue to inspire yourself and your colleagues to new scientific discoveries!
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.
