University of Ljubljana has repurposed Nitroxolin for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by coronaviruses, in particular SARS-CoV-2. A significant advantage of nitroxoline over other candidate drugs for the treatment of covid-19 (repurposing drugs – amantadine, teicoplanin) is that the […]

The University of Ljubljana developed functionalized coloured textiles with antiviral and antibacterial properties based on emodin and its derivatives.[…]

The Department of Structural and Seismic Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodesy, University of Ljubljana, has developed a special system for the protection of cladding panels that can be installed in existing buildings.[…]

The University of Ljubljana has developed a new and efficient combination of hydrodynamic cavitation, photochemical and photocatalytic processes. It is a combination of green oxidation processes that do not require the addition of external oxidants, and thus do not contribute to the formation of sec[…]

Many products require determination on how easily can fluids penetrate through the sample material. A precise and rapid measurement of the permeability is therefore crucial in many applications in the fields of freeze-dried products (pharmaceutical and food industry), textile industry, filter and me[…]

The innovation represents the conversion of lignin and ferulic acid into vanillin using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant and vanadium oxide as a catalyst. The innovative process is greener, cost‑effective and cheaper than competitive solutions. Our solution is applicable in the cosmetics and pharmace[…]
