The license for innovation of our colleague Dr. Uroš Andjelković was signed. Dr. Andjelković, in cooperation with an international team of researchers from the Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy and the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana, University Clinic in Ulm, University of Montenegro, and Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, discovered a new antiviral agent.

Antiviral activity was confirmed on HIV-1, HSV-1 and HSV-2, Influenza A and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. The new antiviral agent can protect against viruses from these groups and push the boundaries of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This discovery results from work on this topic for more than 35 years at the Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy and Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade.
