On October 26?27, Vilnius will host the EFIB’2022 event which will bring the European life science sector together. In the field of life sciences, Lithuania is best known for the discovery of gene scissors by Prof. Virginijus Šikšnys. The country now hosts the EMBL Partnership Institute for Genome Editing Technologies at the Vilnius University Life Sciences Center aiming to advance gene editing technologies. Six international research groups work at the EMBL Partnership Institute in Vilnius, each tackling a different facet of gene editing. One of them is the Jones!Lab, focused on research and development of novel genome editing tools. It is headed by Dr Stephen Jones, who talked to us about scientific collaboration, working in Vilnius, and pushing the limits of scientific knowledge.
