Dr Gabrielė Meižytė discusses the work she is conducting in the life science space and its potential to create a more environmentally conscious STEM ecosystem.
Dr Gabrielė Meižytė, a postdoctoral researcher at Vilnius University, began professional studies in chemistry at the University of Glasgow as part of an integrated master’s programme.
Further studies took her all around the globe, to Saudi Arabia’s University of Science and Technology, the University of Oxford and London’s UCL. It was at University College London where she took her first steps into a clinical biomedical setting, as she carried out clinical biomarker research using mass spectrometry.
She told SiliconRepublic.com, “I am especially drawn to studying materials at the molecular level, so when I saw the opportunity to compete for a postdoctoral fellowship, I realised I had the experience to contribute something valuable to the field of synthetic bone substitutes.”
