Isotope User Meeting Dates Announced!

Cathy Cutler moderates the Ac-225 User Meeting at the 2019 SNMMI Conference

Cathy Cutler moderates the Ac-225 User Meeting at the 2019 SNMMI Conference

This year the DOE Isotope Program will host three 90-minute virtual isotope user meetings focused on the following emerging alpha-emitters: actinium-225, astatine-211, and lead-212.

The purpose of the meetings is to encourage free discussion and collaboration amongst users of specific isotopes and accelerate their widespread use in medicine.

These webinar-style sessions will feature brief presentations by leading researchers showcasing their latest progress in these emerging fields, followed by interactive panel discussions. Participants are also encouraged to share insights and ask questions during a moderated Q&A segment.
