Marius was the final year medicine student at Vilnius University when he joined FameLab 2014 competition in Lithuania. Marius said: "I am interested in various interactions in the human body that are not easily noticeable, for example, hearing and renal failure. These relationships show that everything in our body is interconnected. Medicine, for me, is a perfect combination between science that you can do in the lab and science that affects common people like your neighbours."
