Teimuraz Lezhava | Biomedical Engineering | Best Researcher Award Published on 30/09/202530/09/2025 by Health Scientists Prof. Teimuraz Lezhava | Biomedical Engineering | Best Researcher Award Head of the Department of Genetics | Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University | Georgia Professor Teimuraz Lezhava, Head of the Department of Genetics at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University and Director of the TSU Institute of Genetics, is a distinguished health scientist and geneticist whose career has been dedicated to advancing the understanding of human genome dynamics, aging, and cancer biology. He defended his doctoral dissertation in Leningrad in 1984, earning his PhD in Biological Sciences, and in the same year was appointed Professor of Genetics. Professor Lezhava is internationally recognized for formulating the Genetic Theory of Aging, which links progressive chromosome heterochromatinization to the decline of genomic function and age-related pathologies, and his pioneering research on peptide bioregulators that can induce chromatin deheterochromatinization, opening therapeutic avenues for aging, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and tuberculosis. His scholarship includes more than 150 scientific publications and three influential monographs, notably Human Chromosomes and Aging (New York, 2006), with his most recent work appearing in leading journals such as Aging Nature, Cytology and Genetics, and International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics. He has played a prominent role in the international scientific community, founding the symposium “Chromosomes and Aging” at the World Congress of Gerontologists and Geriatricians, and delivering invited lectures across Europe, Asia, and the United States.
