Dr. Nino Chikadze, PhD, is a Head of Immunology and Microbiology Laboratory at TSU and invited lecturer at TSU Division of Immunology and Microbiology, leading the MSc courses “Vaccines”, Neuroendocrine Regulation of Immune System”, “ Gene Cloning”, “Molecular Immunoheamatology” and teaching “Basic Immunology” and “Medical Microbiology and Virology” in the frame of programme “Medicine”. Since 2000 years her scientific interest is focused on artificially induced and naturally occurred immune responses against human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). She was principal investigator of the project funded by SRNSFG, FR/206/7-250/14 –“Development of the anti-cancer, epitope specific vaccine prototype based on mutant β chain of hCG”, coordinated the project –„Role of naturally occurring-antibodies against hCG in pathogenesis of various gynecological tumours” (№ 218024) and was a principal investigator of the project „Investigation of involvement of ovarian cyst mucins in the production of IgG auto-antibodies cross-reacting with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and its subunits” (FR-19-479) funded by SRNSFG. She is the author of numerous scientific works in this field.
