Doctor of Science (Dr. Hab.) in Physical Chemistry, Director of the Institute for Biophysics and Bionanosciences at the Department of Physics of the TSU, Principal Investigator of the Department of Biophysics at I. Beritashvili Center of Experimental Biomedicine in Tbilisi. His research interests cover the interdisciplinary topics such as: physical mechanisms of charge transfer in model systems and biomoleculs (including interfacial nanostructures), stability and flexibility of proteins in the context of their functioning, and the role of “bound” water in biomolecules. Dimitri Khoshtariya has been awarded several prestigious fellowships and research grants from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany), Fulbright
