Dr. Diana Sukackienė: Not Enough Attention Given to the Nutrition of Patients After Kidney Transplantation Surgery2023-10-23, 18:07“Medicine and science are inseparable, moving in sync. I’ve never had any doubts about choosing clinical work. When it comes to academic activities, even though there are no more scientists in my family, the work environment always encourages science and academic work. My colleagues are excellent examples. During my doctoral studies, I gained better skills in planning, and learned how to conduct scientific research, process, evaluate the obtained results, and present them in the international arena. I realized that the path of a scientist is not easy, but with passion, it’s worth pursuing,” Dr. D. Sukackienė, a physician at the Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos Nephrology Centre, who defended her dissertation in June this year, titled Changes in the Nutritional Status of Patients After Kidney Transplantation and Assessment of Related Factors. On October 26th, a welcoming event for doctoral students will take place at Vilnius University's (VU) Theatre Hall. This event will focus on discussions about collaboration between doctoral students and their academic supervisors, emphasizing the importance of feedback. The event will feature the participation of VU's Pro-Rector for Research Prof. Edita Sužiedėlienė, as well as representatives from the Doctoral and Postdoctoral Department, the PhD committees of different research fields, and VU Student Representation.
