Laboratory Medicine Research Network

What this hub works on

The Laboratory Medicine Research Network aims to connect Ukrainian researchers and laboratory medicine professionals in Ukraine and abroad with international colleagues to develop research collaborations, exchange expertise, and create new opportunities for biomedical research. We also want to share the experience gained by Ukrainian medical laboratories working under the extraordinary conditions of war. The challenges faced by laboratory professionals in Ukraine have highlighted the importance of preparedness, adaptability, risk management, and maintaining essential diagnostic services during crises. We believe that sharing these experiences can contribute to international discussions on laboratory resilience and help colleagues in other countries prepare for similar challenges. The Hub's activities will focus on three main areas: 1. Research and Innovation in Laboratory Medicine This area will focus on collaborative research in laboratory medicine and related biomedical fields, including clinical laboratory diagnostics, biomarker research, immunology, inflammation, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, and emerging diagnostic technologies. The aim is to develop joint research projects, share scientific expertise, and promote the application of research findings in clinical practice. 2. International Collaboration and Research Funding The Hub will help researchers find scientific partners, develop joint research ideas, and establish connections between Ukrainian and international universities, hospitals, research institutes, and other organisations. An important part of this work will be identifying funding opportunities, preparing collaborative grant applications, and supporting participation in European and international research programmes. 3. Professional Development, Knowledge Exchange, and Laboratory Resilience This area will focus on sharing knowledge and experience through scientific meetings, seminars, workshops, and mentoring. An important part of our work will be sharing practical experience of organising and maintaining laboratory services during the war in Ukraine, including approaches to risk management, continuity of operations, adaptation to changing conditions, and laboratory resilience. We also aim to promote the exchange of good practices in laboratory diagnostics and quality management, support early-career researchers, and strengthen research capacity through collaboration between professionals at different career stages. The Network welcomes Ukrainian and international researchers and professionals who are interested in advancing laboratory medicine, learning from one another, and working together on new scientific initiatives. Our goal is to build an active research community where professional connections can develop into lasting partnerships and joint projects.
