Publications

Scientific research is critical to help us navigate our ever-changing world.

It is through publication that the research, including its scientific and practical contributions, is disseminated to others in a particular field. Interdisciplinary team of Verlab Research Institute has significantly contributed to the scientific community with published articles on a variety of topics ranging from biochemistry to practical applications of biomedical engineering.

Most recent publications of Verlab Research Institute: Pokvić LG, Hasić J, Tulić A, Bego T, Uzunović T, Badnjević A. Bosnia and Herzegovina 2030: The Window to Change. 2022; 1 (1):12-16.
