Good job, Prof. Sonata Jarmalaitė and Dr. Rasa Sabaliauskaitė!
Our researchers took part in a worldwide genetic sequencing of human kidney cancers, which revealed associations between geographical locations and specific mutation patterns.

"Undergraduates spend 10–15 hours a week in the lab for their theses. It’s one of the things I love about Lithuania: students here start their research careers much earlier than they do in the United States", says @ItsOKIDoScience
We are happy to have you here, Stephen!
