Hana Marvanová on the unequal power of our genes

What makes you unique? Scientist Hana Marvanová studies parent-of-origin effects—how the genes we inherit from our mother and father don’t always express equally. As a PhD student at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna, she co-authored a paper in Nature that uncovered a missing piece in this genetic puzzle. But how did she go from studying anthropology to cutting-edge molecular biology? That and more, in our latest Science Without Borders interview!

Watch the new series, Science Without Borders, from Radio Prague International and the Czech Centre Vienna in collaboration with Czexpats in Science and Tschechisches Zentrum Wien.
