On February 24, 2026, a meeting of the “Molecular Genetic Laboratory” Student Research Group, supervised by Associate Professor Olha Obukhova, was held under the general theme “The Human Genome: 25 Years After the Completion of the Human Genome Project (2001–2026)”.
During the event, three student presentations addressed the evolution of genomics in the post-genomic era. Mariia Lastovets (MC–210) analyzed modern approaches to human genome interpretation — from functional genomics to personalized medicine. Valeriia Bosenko (MC.m–305) focused on unresolved challenges, including the interpretation of genetic variants, polygenic diseases, and ethical issues related to the use of genetic information. Kateryna Klymenko (SM–401) highlighted the role of the Human Genome Project as a turning point in the development of modern molecular diagnostics, pharmacogenomics, and targeted therapy.
The meeting served as a platform for active scientific discussion and contributed to a comprehensive understanding of the future directions of medicine in the context of rapid advances in genomic technologies.
