Radiochemistry & Nuclear Imaging Lab Research groups

The activity of the Radiochemistry and Nuclear Imaging Group focuses on the development of innovative radiochemistry and the application of positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) tracers toward the investigation of biological, physiological and pathological processes in the fields of oncology, neurology, pneumology, infection and cardiovascular diseases. The main research lines are described below.
 

Main Research Lines:

Fundamental radiochemistry

Development of innovative labeling strategies using 11C, 13N and 18F
