Research projects
Current research projects at the Institute:
1. DNA quadruplex: strontium binding to DNA (the university project, 2017)
2. The effect of ultra-violet rays on collagen and detection of effective antioxidants with regard to this effect (the university project, 2017);
3. Study of different stress-induced defects in a DNA double helix (the university project, 2017)
4. The effects of metal ions on the restoration of Cr (VI) by Arthrobacter species (Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation, 2016-2019)
