Greetings to Prof. Chankvetadze (Tbilisi State University, Georgia), who was invited to be a honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He held his inaguration lecture on June 16, 2026 about the non-covalent interactions in molecular recognition utilized in separation technologies.
His short CV:
- 1974 – 1979 – Bachelor in Chemistry, School of Chemistry, Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia
- 1979 – Masters in Physical Chemistry, Tbilisi State University, Georgia (Diploma with Distinction)
- 1981 – 1985 – Postgraduate student at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, Soviet Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia
- 1985 – Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry, Institute of Organic Chemistry,Soviet Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia
- 1998 – Habilitation in Physical Chemistry (D.Sc.), Capillary Electrophoresis in Chiral Analysis, Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia
He has 112 cyclodextrin-related publications (Scopus database, June 16, 2026). The very first was published in 1994:
- Chankvetadze, B., Endresz, G. and Blaschke, G. (1994), About some aspects of the use of charged cyclodextrins for capillary electrophoresis enantioseparation. ELECTROPHORESIS, 15: 804-807. https://doi.org/10.1002/elps.11501501113
The last one has been published recently:
- Peluso, P., Dallocchio, R., Scriba, G.K.E., Chankvetadze, B. (2026). Application of Molecular Modeling to Capillary Electrophoresis Enantioseparations Promoted by Cyclodextrin-Based Chiral Selectors. In: Scriba, G.K.E., Chankvetadze, B. (eds) Chiral Separations. Methods in Molecular Biology, vol 2994. Humana, New York, NY. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-5023-3_26
He has several Hungarian cooperations including that with CycloLab, the source of special cyclodextrin derivatives.
