Citizens of Karelia can help scientists explore early-stage disorders and risks of developing serious diseases

Scientists invite volunteers aged 40–59 to take part in a large-scope region study seeking to identify early markers of the yet silent disorders that may later evolve into cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Participants will be asked to give a single blood sample for key laboratory tests. The results can be collected in person or via email. In the long term, this work will enable scientists and medical professionals to detect the threat of serious diseases as early as possible.

Russian Science Foundation supported Karelian scientists’ projects

Four grant applications submitted by scientists of the Karelian Research Centre RAS were approved by the Russian Science Foundation. The projects by Karelian researchers deal with issues such as building a methodology for the identification, monitoring, and protection of certain wetlands, increased mortalities among young farmed trout relocated to natural water bodies, assessing the anti-inflammatory properties of natural dietary supplements promising for trout farming, and reconstruction of the thermal history of the Earth's crust formation in northern Karelia and southern Murmansk Region.
