About
Dr. Nino Chalauri ran the vitrification and embryo-transfer side of Vita Nova’s laboratory - the embryologist whose work determined whether frozen eggs and embryos survived to become transfers. Her official-site biography, preserved word-for-word on both a booking-platform mirror and the team page of the related Clinic Atlas, describes a graduate of the Medical Faculty of Tbilisi State University who then completed an embryology specialization at University Hospital Montreal covering IVF, ICSI, IMSI, PICSI and cryopreservation.
Before settling in Tbilisi she accumulated lab experience at two established post-Soviet reproductive centers: the ISIDA Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kyiv and the Center for Reproductive Medicine in Vilnius, her bio records. That route - Georgia, Canada-trained, Ukraine, Lithuania, back to Tbilisi - is worth noting because Kyiv and Vilnius labs built their reputations on high-volume donor-egg work, which is exactly the skill set Vita Nova’s surrogacy programs needed.
Her published profile does not claim physician status: one listing platform labels her “Obstetrician,” but every version of her bio describes an embryology career, and pediatric-and-clinical-embryology is how she is listed on the related clinic’s team page. Like the rest of the team, she appears on Clinic Atlas’s roster after Vita Nova’s website went offline in mid-2026 - see the clinic page for the status note and verification advice.
Clinical Expertise
- Cryopreservation: freezing and thawing of oocytes and embryos - the technique that makes egg-freezing and frozen-transfer surrogacy cycles viable
- ICSI microinjection: fertilization work including IMSI and PICSI sperm-selection variants, per her Montreal specialization
- Embryo culture and staging: monitoring development to timing transfers, listed among her hands-on procedures
- International lab practice: 12 years across Tbilisi, Kyiv and Vilnius embryology laboratories with documented conference participation
Why Choose Dr. Nino Chalauri
In donor and surrogacy programs, the freezing-thawing survival rate of eggs and embryos is the quiet number that decides everything, and it is the number her specialization speaks to directly - Montreal-trained cryopreservation plus Kyiv/Vilnius high-volume donor lab background.
Her two mirror-preserved bios are letter-identical across independent platforms, which is the strongest authenticity signal available for any team member once the clinic’s own website disappeared.
Twelve years of continuous bench experience puts her in the senior embryologist bracket for the regional market, and her bio records ongoing participation in international embryology and reproductive-medicine conferences rather than a static skill set.
Professional Affiliations
Her stated affiliation is membership of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), described in Repro Society’s 2026 audit as “official-website-only” - no independent registry confirmation was found. She is listed as a participant and member of international embryology and reproductive medicine conferences. No license or certification numbers are published in any available source.
Suitable For
- Egg-freezing patients: cryopreservation and thawing quality is her documented core skill
- Frozen embryo transfer cycles: staging and survival of thawed embryos for donor-egg and surplus-embryo transfers
- ICSI-dependent IVF cases: fertilization laboratory work for male-factor cycles alongside the clinic’s senior embryologist
