“Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.”
— Alexander Graham Bell
In a project launched in August, 2021, Virustatic is working with sustainable chemists at UAL and the University of Leeds , to further develop our sustainability-driven antimicrobial Viruferrin® textile coating. Our project looks to shape the future of the antimicrobial textiles sector in order to replace the use of metal-based chemicals for the antimicrobial treatment of fabrics and textiles.
The BFTT is part of the Creative Industries Clusters Programme, funded by the Industrial Strategy Fund and delivered by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, part of UK Research & Innovation. BFTT aims to foster a new, creative business culture in which fashion, textiles and technology businesses – from small and medium enterprises to multinational companies – can use R&D as a mechanism for growth, positioning the industry as agents of new technology and materials development. BFTT is engaging with businesses such as Virustatic and the Government to develop a pipeline of talent to support the fashion, textile and technology businesses of the future, tapping into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) expertise, which aims to provide the creative skills and transdisciplinary innovation needed to support the sector.

Virustatic is proud to be working in partnership with CALIN, the Celtic Advanced Life Sciences Network, on the Virumist® antiviral inhaler. The project involves a team of academics from the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals at Cardiff University and University College Dublin in order to develop Viruferrin® for its potential use in an inhaler as both prophylaxis and treatment of respiratory viruses such as influenza, COVID-19 and the common cold.
Virustatic and researchers at the Lyell Centre for Earth and Marine Sciences GRI (Global Research Institute) at Heriot-Watt University worked in partnership to test a novel solution to biofilms in pipelines, specifically considering the oil and gas industry. The Lyell Centre is an inspired fusion of Earth and marine geosciences and technology.
Vismederi are a long-standing partner of Virustatic. They are an Italian Life Sciences Research company with which Virustatic has worked on extensive testing of our patented antiviral fabrics and the formulation of Viruferrin®.
A partnership has been established between University of Bradford and Virustatic to work on innovative drug delivery methods for feminine health applications involving academics from differing fields.
