Modular 01 project consists of the development of a new generation synthesizer dedicated to the production of radiopharmaceuticals used as diagnostic (tracers) or therapies. The system is made of different sub-modules for the radioisotope management, the labeling step, the post labeling chemistries and the final purification / formulation. These sub modules can...

Project co-led by MecaTech and BioWin Today, nuclear medicine PET (Positron Emission Tomography) also extends to neurology and cardiology. Nuclear cardiology uses noninvasive myocardial perfusion examination techniques to evaluate the pumping capacity of the heart and to detect the presence of ischemia or lesions. High quality imaging of PET scanners...

Project co-led by MecaTech and BioWin. The project aims to develop an innovative variation of the classical technique of delivery of proton therapy by intensity modulation. This new technique is called "Arc Protontherapy". This new technique allows to deliver the dose continuously during rotation of the gantry. For the patient, Arc...

When surgical removal is not possible, oncologists have few treatment options to offer their cancer patients. Trasis, Xpress Biologics, CMMI (ULB) and UMONS are embarking on the FAR (Fragments of Antibodies for Radioimmunotherapy) research project to promote the use of antibody fragments as carriers of radioactive isotopes. By using both the ability of antibody fragments to target tumours and...

M2-Target aims to develop a non-invasive imaging method for the detection and quantification of M2 macrophages. This method is based on a new radiotracer (called 68Ga-ABSCINT-206) initially developed at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). It is composed of a single-domain antibody fragment (also called "nanobodies") that recognizes a receptor (CD206)...
