About
I received my doctoral degree inResearch
Since coming into the field of PET, my research interests have been split between the development of [18F] fluorination chemistry and the cyclotron
Targetry
Testing and modification of high current [18F] water targets with emphasis on the quality of the [18F] produced. The ionic contaminants in target water
The development of a high current solid target to demonstrate the feasibility of producing 99mTc directly on the cyclotron. The current isotope shortage caused by the global fission reactor problems has instigated a search for a reliable
Radiosynthesis
[18F] fluorinated nucleosides and sugars for PET imaging of cell proliferation and metabolism
