Inga obtained their PhD from the Vilnius University, Institute of Biotechnology, where she focused on CRISPR-Cas systems that function as defense systems of bacteria and archaea against foreign mobile genetic elements. She then continued as a Research Scientist there, followed by an Associate Research Scientist role where she carried on a 20-month scientific project on structural and functional investigation of genome editing tools. She will continue her research at the Taylor Lab on contractile injection systems, employing single particle analysis and in situ cryoelectron tomography.
