Dr Mindaugas Zaremba: Research on Bacteria Has Already Given Birth to the Scissors of Genes and Genomes, How Much More Potential Is There in Them?
Research into bacterial virus protection systems has led to the development of CRISPR-Cas genome scissors, which have made Lithuanian researchers famous worldwide. “It shows how great the potential of this research is, how many undiscovered mechanisms of action there are, which may have many applications in biotechnology, molecular biology, industry and so on in the future,” says Mindaugas Zaremba, a researcher at the Institute of Biotechnology of Vilnius University's Life Sciences Center.
