NOVEL RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES

The group will investigate the methods of radioisotopes manufacturing and their integration into new medicines that will be use in diagnostics and therapy. Thank to the POLATOM Radioisotope Centre based in the premises of the National Centre for Nuclear Research, the NCBJ is the world class radiopharmaceuticals’ producer. NOMATEN will take advantage on its’ team and infrastructure in order to help develop the research on such nuclear medicines.
