He has worked in the field of psychiatric genetics for the last 20 years and has numerous publications. He has an extensive background in the genetics of addiction, molecular biology, and bioinformatics. Dr. Nielsen's research aims are the understanding the inter-individual differences in pharmacogenetic components that modulate therapeutic response of treatment of psychostimulant addiction and of vaccines for the treatment of addictions. Studies are underway investigating the genetic moderation of the subjective effects of cocaine, vulnerability to develop cocaine and nicotine addictions and bipolar disorder as well as recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI).
