The legal entity of public law Ivane Beritashvili Center of Experimental Biomedicine is a non-profit scientific-research institution. The Center was established in 2010 on the basis of the well-known Ivane Beritashvili Institute of Physiology, the most prominent research center of Georgia, where the basic and applied research in different fields of neurophysiology were conducted since its foundation (in 1935). Three scientific institutions were merged with the Ivane Beritashvili Institute of Physiology – the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biophysics, the Center of Radiobiology and Radiation Ecology, and the Center of Experimental Neurology, the first two of which, for many years, were the departments of the Institute of Physiology.

The Center shares international norms and principles of bioethical scientific research.

Center is conducting:

• Multi-dimensional interdisciplinary scientific researches, implementing consulting and expert activities;
• Promotes scientific and technological progress of the country; conducts and experimental and theoretical research of fundamental and applied nature in physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, neurology, neurosciences, radiobiology, radiation ecology and their related fields;
• Continuously takes care of equipping laboratories with modern setup equipment and achieving international standards of research in the relevant fields of biology and medicine;
• Supports the publication of research articles in national and international peer-review journals, encourages the growth of the citation index of the Center's staff;
• Facilitates the exchange of scientific information in the field of science and technology development between the Center and foreign scientific organizations;
• Organizes international scientific conferences and symposia;
• Organizes international schools and seminars for young scientists with the participation of foreign experts;
• Collaborates with the world and European scientific societies in the field of life sciences to implement joint projects.

These research activities are being pursued in the 20 scientific units of the center. About 200 highly qualified scientists are pursuing their research activities here.
