International collaboration #ScienceForUkraine
from REMEDY annual report 2022
by annettv
#ScienceForUkraine is a grass-root initiative run by an international community of volunteer scholars and students since the beginning of Russia’s war in Ukraine in February 2022.
The mission of the initiative is to support the Ukrainian academic community in surviving the war and to help ensure the continuity of Ukraine’s science and strengthen its presence in the international science arena.

Shortly after we posted information about this opportunity on the ScienceForUkraine website and on Twitter, we were contacted by a Ukrainian researcher, Valeria Melokhina, MD PhD, who came to Norway in fall 2022 to join the REMEDY center as a visiting researcher.
Valeria Melokhina is a rheumatologist, and her areas of expertise include the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and spondyloarthritis. As a co-investigator, she has participated in various clinical trials related to rheumatic diseases. Melokhina is currently working on the early arthritis aspect of the ARCTIC trial. We are excited to have her on board and look forward to her contributions to our research efforts.
