Research Interest:

Georgiev George Pavlovich with his team Showed the key role of the Mts1 protein in the induction of tumor metastasis and revealed a number of mechanisms for this effect. He also discovered the tag7 gene in 1997, whose product Tag7 protein is a protective anti-cancer protein. The mechanisms of its antitumor action were established, and antitumor vaccines undergoing tests were created on its basis.
Discoveries: 1961-62 nuclear dRNA (hnRNA), isolation, properties, mRNA precursor, 1965-67 nuclear RNP particles, structural organization, 1977 mobile genetic elements in animal cells, 1993-98 genes controlling tumor metastasis and protective antitumor gene, antitumor vaccine.
