The collaborative UTRL project entitled "Probiotic bacteria for the treatment of liver steatosis" aims to develop, validate and commercialise a probiotic product for the purification of fatty liver. The project will be implemented over the next 12 months through a synergistic collaboration between science and industry and involves the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković" (IBISS), the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering (IMGGI) and the pharmaceutical company Phytonet.

Dr. Marko Mirč and Dr. Mirko Đorđević from the IBISS Department of Evolutionary Biology are the leaders of the new citizen science research projects granted by the Center for the Promotion of Science. At the project award ceremony, the CPN also presented IBISS with a certificate of appreciation for its exceptional contribution to the work of the Center.
