I obtained the professional qualification of a clinical geneticist in 2008. I have been working at the Department of Human and Medical Genetics of the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University since 2008. I defended my doctoral dissertation on the topic "Genomics of congenital / hereditary hearing impairment: influence on pathogenesis and phenotypic expression in the Lithuanian population". Since 2020 I am a supervisor in Vilnius University, Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Biobank of Lithuanian Population and Rare Disorders. I have been consulting patients with congenital / inherited diseases at the Medical Genetics Center of VUL Santaros Clinics. Since 2003 I perform molecular genetic testing of patients in the laboratory. I am a member of the Lithuanian society of Human Genetics. My scientific interests include biobanking, Human Molecular Genomics, Functional genomics, Cardiogenetics, Deafness genetics. I give lectures in Master program of System biology Genomics Module and Proteomics Module (Oncogenomics, Genome wide association studies, Novel therapeutics).
