After spending a bit more time in the center, they will hear the whirring motors of a variety of equipment such as huge refrigerators filled with samples and a considerable amount of modern equipment having unusual names, but they will also see the warm smiles of the people who work here. This is the daily world of medical genetics. During Medical Genetics Awareness Week, Gabija Mazur, Gabrielė Žukauskaitė, and Karolis Baronas, three VU Faculty of Medicine graduates working as geneticists at Santaros Clinics agreed to talk about the nuances, challenges, and opportunities of this profession.
