Overzicht

This unique course touches upon the radiobiological, radiochemical and dosimetric aspects in the development of radiopharmaceuticals. The course is organized under the umbrella of the PRISMAP project (www.prismap.eu).
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101008571 (PRISMAP).

Specific topics that will be covered are:

  • Radiobiological aspects of the use of radiopharmaceuticals: cancer cell inhibiting and cytotoxicity for normal cells;
  • Radiochemistry in the development of radiopharmaceuticals;
  • Dosimetric and microdosimetric aspects of the use of radiopharmaceuticals;
  • Examples of specific research studies in the development of radiopharmaceuticals.

Format

All lectures will be given in a face-to-face format by SCK CEN scientists, with assistance from SCK CEN PhD students.

The theoretical lectures will be complemented by technical visits to laboratories.

Doelpubliek

PhD students as well as post-docs, junior scientists or technicians interested in radiopharmaceuticals for medical applications. The course can allow a maximum number of 20 participants.

There is no pre-knowledge required.

Leerdoelen

Upon completion of this training course, the participant will be able to:

  • identify the different medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals applying its clinical use in nuclear medicine;
  • describe cancer cell inhibiting and cytotoxicity for normal cells associated with the use of radiopharmaceuticals and understand basic radiobiological experimental procedures for assessing these effects;
  • explain basic concepts involved in radiopharmacy including the steps involved in labeling and quality control procedures of several radiopharmaceuticals;
  • describe dosimetric and microdosimetric aspects of the use of radiopharmaceuticals which are needed to optimize the radiation dose in clinical procedures;
  • have insight in the main steps of the production of medical radioisotopes, including the radiochemistry and quality control;
  • acknowledge how specific research studies are linked in the development of radiopharmaceuticals.
