George Tabatadze is an Associate Professor at Washington State University's College of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and is affiliated with the United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries (USTUR). His expertise lies in health physics with a focus on actinide measurement and radiation dosimetry applications.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Applied Physics (Health Physics) from Idaho State University
- Master of Sciences in Health Physics (Medical Physics) from University of Nevada Las Vegas
- Bachelor of Science in Physics and Computer Science from Tbilisi State University, Republic of Georgia
Dr. Tabatadze's research centers on quantitative measurement of actinides (plutonium, americium, uranium) in human tissues, computational radiation transport modeling for internal/external dosimetry, and digital autoradiography for micro-scale radionuclide distribution analysis in biological specimens. His work provides critical insights for radiation protection standards and nuclear medicine applications.
Analysis of his 2013-2019 publications reveals consistent focus on plutonium decorporation therapy validation, biokinetic modeling of actinides, and advanced spatial mapping of radionuclides in bone structures. These studies bridge health physics, radiation biology, and nuclear medicine with direct applications in radiation safety protocols and medical countermeasures for internal contamination.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Richard J. Burk, Jr. Fellowship award from the Health Physics Society (2010)
Dr. Tabatadze conducts research through USTUR, which maintains the world's only repository of human tissues containing transuranic elements for radiation dosimetry studies. His collaborations with national laboratories and affiliation with the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (2013-2014) support research into long-term biological effects of internal radionuclide exposure and development of radiation protection methodologies.
