The research team of the SVETOVID-19 project, led by prof. Dr. Dejan Baskić, achieved great success in examining the impact of genetic polymorphisms on the outcome of the COVID-19 disease, carried out within the project "Human genetic and epigenetic determinants of susceptibility, severity and outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 infection - SVETOVID-19", financed by by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia within the IDEJE program. In cooperation with colleagues from the Institute of Information Technologies, University of Kragujevac, the first results were published under the title "IFNL3/4 polymorphisms as a two-edged sword: An association with COVID-19 outcome" in the highly renowned virological journal Journal of Medical Virology. This journal is ranked by Cobson as the second most prominent journal in the field of virology with an impact factor of 20.693 in 2021.
