The course “Innovative Radionuclides and Radiopharmaceuticals” is organized by the Department of Nuclear Sciences and Engineering (DECN) from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST)/ University of Lisbon, a multidisciplinary academic unit focused on research, education, and innovation in the field of nuclear sciences, under the scope of the ENEN2plus project the European Union’s Euratom Research and Training Programme (EURATOM) (grant agreement No 101061677).

The course gathers a group of national and international experts that will present theoretical lectures on hot topics of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences, comprising radionuclide production, radiolabeling chemistry, in silico approaches, methods for preclinical studies with cellular and animal models, and applications of radiopharmaceuticals. The course contains also several laboratory sessions to exemplify the several steps involved in the synthesis and evaluation of a potential radiopharmaceutical. It is planned a one-day visit to the facilities of the Institute for Nuclear Sciences Applied to Health (ICNAS, Coimbra), which is the leading institution in Portugal in the production of medical radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals.

At the end of the course, the trainees will be acquainted with practical skills and scientific knowledge useful to understand the most important aspects required to bring medical radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals from the bench to the bedside.

Details how to proceed with the registration can be found at the course flyer.
