The internationally renowned biophysicist, our mentor, colleague, and
dear friend George Mrevlishvili has passed away on February 8, 2008 at
age 69. George Mrevlishvili was an extraordinary stimulating teacher
deeply committed to the highest standards in academic achievement and
the advancement of young scientists.

His creativity, foresight, generous heart, humanity and sense of
humor, as well as his many other talents made him a vibrant
personality who greatly influenced his students, colleagues and
scientific collaborators. The significance of his work goes beyond the
boundaries of biophysics and thermodynamics of biological
macromolecules. It will influence our minds and hearts for years to
come.
We will always treasure his dear memory and strive to apply his high
standards to our research and teaching.
