Dr. Magdalena Dziadzio (English Version)

Dr. Dziadzio obtained her medical degree in Poland. She worked in the Department of Internal Medicine, University of Ancona, Italy. She developed her knowledge about scleroderma working with Prof. Carol Black and her team at the Department of Rheumatology, Royal Free Hospital, London.

Magdalena Dziadzio, MD, PhD, wrote the introduction to Voices of Scleroderma Volume 1 and solicited medical articles and translated many of the stories for Voices of Scleroderma Volume 2.

Dr. Dziadzio is also ISN Translator for Sklerodermia od A do Z, which is our Polish (Polski) version. She hopes that her translations will be of help to Polish scleroderma patients and their families in understanding and in fighting against this complicated disease.

She is the lead investigator of two abstracts based on inquiries to the International Scleroderma Network, A Pilot Database Analysis of Enquiries Submitted to the Medical Committee of an International Scleroderma Website (EULAR 2003) and Internet as a Tool for Patient Support Groups to Provide Quality Information (EULAR 2004).

In addition, Dr. Dziadzio collaborated with Dr. Mario Gismondi in editing Sclerodermia dalla A alla Z, our Italian (Italiano) version.
