Prof. Dr. Rūta Navakauskienė and Dr. Veronika Borutinskaitė, researchers at the Institute of Biochemistry, VU Life Sciences Center, together with their colleagues from VILNIUS TECH University, Prof. Dalius Navakauskas and Dr. Dalius Matuzevičius, have published a monograph ‘Epigenetics and Proteomics in Leukaemia - A Synergy of Experimental Biology and Computational Informatics’.

Great news reached Vilnius - the VU Life Sciences Center (VU LSC) team, named Vilnius_GMC, has won the very first and only gold medal of the iDEC 2021 (International Directed Evolution Competition). Our champions are VU LSC PhD students Jonas Juozapaitis and Lorenzo Camisi.

The prestigious scientific journal Nature has published an article entitled 'Transposon-associated TnpB is a programmable RNA-guided DNA endonuclease' by scientists from Vilnius University (VU) Life Sciences Center.

This autumn, Vilnius University Life Sciences Centre (VU LSC) celebrates its 5th anniversary. On this occasion, dedicated events will take place throughout the week of 4-8 October.

On Friday, a virtual meeting was organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania between representatives of the VU GMC and representatives of scientific and research institutions of the Republic of South Africa from the CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the funding organisation) and the Medical Research Council (SAMRC).

UAB “Thermo Fisher Scientific Baltics” in cooperation with Vilnius University invites prospective 1^st year MSc programme students of the VU Life Sciences Center, Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics to do their final MSc thesis at the Company.

Join those the best or invite others to join! Three laboratories at the Life Sciences Centre of Vilnius University, a Partnership Institute of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory for genome editing (VU LSC-EMBL Partnership Institute), Lithuania, are looking for talented investigators.

Dr Stephen Jones has started working at the VU LSC and he will lead a scientific group at the newly established sui generis operational unit of VU LSC, EMBL Partnership Institute.
Stephen’s group will create and research new genome editing tools.

A new research group led by Dr Patrick Pausch started its activity as a part of newly established sui generis operational unit of VU LSC - EMBL Partnership Institute.

In the latest QS World University Rankings 2022, Vilnius University (VU) took a record high position and for the first time, ranked 400th in this ranking.

The Partnership Institute of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), which will focus on developing gene editing technologies, will soon start operating at the Vilnius University Life Sciences Center (VU LSC).

Pro for Nano, a global nanomaterials technology company and Graphene Composites, an international nanomaterials engineering company, together with Vilnius University and Nature Research Center have been granted international Eureka funding for their nanosilver enhanced graphene oxide ink (NEGOI)” project to further develop antimicrobial ink.
