Biography

“If we stop a passer-by in any country of the world and ask them to close their eyes and imagine a scientist, I'm sure that the vast majority of them will see a man dressed in a comely, laboratory coat. The issue of gender inequality exists all over the world and it's even more severe in Georgia. Nevertheless, this circumstance didn't prevent me from achieving my goals.”
