Biography
Vadym Aristov was born in Kyiv into a family of military doctors.
He studied at the Ukrainian Medical Lyceum at NMU and then entered the Bogomolets National Medical University.
While studying at the university, Aristov created the medical education portal MEDUCATION (operated in 2002-2009). This platform gathered 30 thousand medical professionals with more than a thousand unique users per day. It was on this portal that the principle of gamification in online education was first applied.
During the same period, Vadym Aristov initiated the creation of the Test-shell program, which allowed preparing for the external independent evaluation KROK (licensing exam for medical students). This portal had a personal account where each user could view the KROK results.
After graduating from Bogomolets NMU, Vadym Aristov studied infectious diseases at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (USA). In 2004, he studied tropical diseases at Assuit University (Egypt) and then did an internship on Agrobacterium and GMOs at Ghent University (Belgium) with Nobel Laureate Professor Marc Van Montagu.
Since 2005, Aristov has worked as a doctor at the Diagnostic Clinic. Later, he played a leading role in the creation of the Center for GMOs and Food Safety at the Medved Institute of Ecohygiene and Toxicology from scratch, where he held the position of Deputy Director. Vadym Aristov accredited the first GMO laboratory in the SES system according to ISO17025, created and headed the R&D department. Vadym and his team developed the first test system for PCR diagnostics of GMOs in Ukraine.
Later, Vadym Aristov became a project manager for the US technical mission under the Biological Threat Reduction Program and oversaw the creation of a new repository for the national collection of highly dangerous infections.
During the same period, Aristov's team initiated reform of the sanitary and epidemiological service and introduced a national system of labeling and risk management of GMOs in food. There, Vadym gathered like-minded people who helped him implement successful projects and later became the backbone of the UMA and Revival Institute For Future.
In 2008, Vadym Aristov founded the Ukrainian Medical Association (UMA), which consisted of 28 branches. A little later, the initiative group of this organization, led by Vadym, spun off into the Revival Institute For Future.
In 2009, he developed and implemented the CME-UA Continuing Medical Education Program. As the head of the UMA, Aristov became the founder of specialized medical congresses.
Thus, from 2008 to 2013, he and his team held 10+ scientific congresses and brought 70 stars of world medicine to Ukraine to give lectures. The programs of the congresses promoted the principles of evidence-based medicine and debunked the myths of "black" pharmaceutical companies.
The pronounced innovative profile of these events ensured a 34-50% gap from competitors, according to the ratings of international research companies GfK and TNS.
According to experts, in 2013, despite its non-profit status, UMA could claim a position between 20th and 40th place in the TOP 100 medical companies according to the Ekonomika publishing hub in terms of its turnover and growth rates.

In 2013, Vadym Aristov and his team created the international human rights movement Sting.MD to support doctors who were subjected to illegal arrests and repression by law enforcement agencies for providing medical care on Maidan. The initiators of the movement called on the global medical community to use their connections with patient-politicians to influence the imposition of sanctions against former President Viktor Yanukovych and heads of law enforcement agencies.
Thus, the Sting.MD petition collected more than 6.5 thousand signatures of doctors from 25 countries and engaged more than 20 world opinion leaders. Thanks to the Sting.MD movement, publications about the events in Ukraine were made in such world journals as The Lancet and BMJ (British Medical Journal). The action resulted in appeals from prominent scientists to international medical associations and the occupation of the office of U.S. Congresswoman Gloria MacLeod by California health workers. This led to a large number of calls to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
