We are more than happy to introduce Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM 2019 team members who contributed to the implementation of the project. From the beginning of February, when the project idea was born, to the end of October, when we reached the peak of our journey and arrived to iGEM competition in Boston, we all worked together as a devoted team, going through sometimes happy, sometimes difficult times. Each of us played a different, but important role on and behind the scene to make our common iGEM dream come true.
Primary PI
Secondary PI
Dr. Baltriukienė broadened our understanding by providing theoretical and practical knowledge of working with more complex organisms than E. coli. Her mentorship helped us to lift our project from a purely fundamental one, which was very helpful when communicating with the public.
Prof. Meškys was an excellent PI who always had professional insights and guidance regarding the project’s idea, potential applications, and troubleshooting. His multidisciplinary knowledge and good humor led us through every step of the Colight journey.
Founder of the team Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM
As an experienced iGEMer, Dainius was there for us when we needed input on the project’s idea and the competition itself, especially fulfilling the competition criteria. Also, as an employee of Thermo Fisher Scientific Baltics, he helped us to bridge the gap between business and academia.

Junior Assistant and Ph.D. candidate K. Kvederavičiūtė was very impactful to the design of our approach to in silico metagenomic mining. She also helped us link our computers to a computer class to increase the processing power for our software and acted as a mentor during our annual Biohackathon: Lab issues event.
Lina Bivainienė was the person at Vilnius University who helped us with related to the organization of public events, such as BioHackathon or the Student for one day. Lina gave us input on Marketing and PR strategy and was always looking for the best ways to represent us on social media and at the University.
