The website presents the LARAMED (LAboratory of RAdionuclides for MEDicine) facility, as part of the SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) research infrastructure under completion at the INFN-LNL, along with the main project outcomes gained during the last years, thanks to an ongoing fruitful network of collaborations.
The interdisciplinary aspects of the production of medically-relevant radionuclides, such as 67Cu, 47Sc, 52Mn etc., are shown, including the latest technological achievements in targetry, radiochemistry, and applied nuclear physics.
The ambitious goals of the LARAMED project are reached thanks to a solid team work.
The research activities on radionuclides production for medicine (e.g., new radiopharmaceuticals development) and applied and interdisciplinary physics (e.g., radiobiology and environmental studies) at the INFN-LNL are coordinated by the Radioisotopes for Medicine and Applied Physics service (RMFA) located in the research division.
