Vakhtang Barbakadze has his expertise in isolation and structure elucidation of a new series of plant polyethers, which are endowed with pharmacological properties as anti-cancer agents. Besides, he is interested in enantioselective synthesis and biological activities of basic monomeric moiety of these biopolyethers, synthesis of enantiomerically pure epoxides as chiral building blocks for the production of synthetic analogues of natural polyethers. He has completed his PhD and DSci from Institute of Organic Chemistry, Moscow, Russia and Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Tbilisi, Georgia, respectively. He is the Head of laboratory of plant biopolymers at the Tbilisi State Medical University Institute of Pharmacochemistry. He has been a Visiting Scientist at Utrecht University (faculty of pharmacy), The Netherlands, by university scholarship and The Netherlands organization for scientific research Scholarship Scientific Program, respectively. He has published more than 81 papers in reputed journals Vakhtang Barbakadze has his expertise in isolation and structure elucidation of a new series of plant polyethers, which are endowed with pharmacological properties as anti-cancer agents.
